Combos® Marathon & Half Marathon

Combos® Marathon & Half Marathon is held in Albany, Georgia on March 6, 2027, with the marathon (26.2 miles) and the half marathon (13.1 miles) both starting at 7:00 a.m. The event is aimed at runners looking for speed and a result. The course is flat, fast and easy for spectators to follow, and the race has established itself as one of the country's better Boston qualifying options, with more than 20 percent of entrants running a qualifying time.

That qualifying rate is the reason to travel here, and it also sets expectations: come with a pace plan and the training to back it. An 18-week marathon build with weekly long runs and regular blocks at goal pace is what a serious attempt requires. If you are not ready for 26.2 miles, the half on the same flat course is a strong place to set a personal best instead.
