Every Woman's Marathon

Every Woman's Marathon is a women-only marathon (26.2 miles) held in Savannah, Georgia, on February 28, 2027. The course runs through the city's historic district, known for its Old South architecture and its oak-lined avenues draped in Spanish moss, and takes in some of the coastal Georgia scenery beyond it. Women-only races over the full marathon distance are rare in the United States, which gives this one a particular place on the calendar.

A late-February date in coastal Georgia usually means cool marathon conditions, and it sits well as a spring goal race: a 16-week build starting in early November lines up almost exactly. Whether this is a first marathon or a time attempt, the structure is the same — a weekly long run climbing toward 18 to 20 miles, one quality session, and the rest easy. If you are aiming at a Boston qualifier, practice your goal pace in the second half of a few long runs rather than at the start.
