RunSBY Events (Salisbury Marathon/Salisbury Half Marathon/5K)

RunSBY Events (Salisbury Marathon/Salisbury Half Marathon/5K) takes place in Salisbury on April 3, 2027. The marathon (26.2 miles) and the half marathon (13.1 miles) start together at 7:00 a.m., and the #RunSBY 5K follows at 7:30 a.m., so the whole morning is done early.

Sharing a start line with the half is useful for marathoners, since you get company through the opening miles, but it also makes it easy to run those miles too quickly; watch your pace until the fields separate. A spring marathon means building through the winter, so count on 16 to 20 weeks, a weekly long run out toward 20 miles, and a taper you do not cut short. The half suits a first attempt at the distance, and the 5K is there for anyone who wants the morning without the long build behind it.
