The 22nd edition ran on Sunday 18 October 2026, and the next one is expected on the third weekend of October 2027. The marathon starts at 7:00 am at the corner of Great George and Grafton Streets and finishes near University Avenue and Grafton Street. The course is certified, so it counts as a Boston qualifier.
