About

Modesto Marathon is based in downtown Modesto, California, and runs on April 4, 2027. The marathon (26.2 miles) and the half marathon (13.1 miles) start at 7:00 a.m., with the 10K and the 5K following at 7:25 a.m. The course has a reputation for being flat and fast, which is why it draws runners after a personal best or a Boston qualifying time.

If a BQ is the plan, a flat course rewards even pacing above everything else, since the temptation on ground like this is to bank time early and it rarely ends well. Build for 16 to 20 weeks, put real marathon-pace work into the last two months, and rehearse fueling on your long runs. The event supports Teens Run Modesto, a program that uses structured training and adult mentoring to help local young people set goals and build fitness.
