The Lowdown
The Virginia Marathon is run through horse and wine country in Loudoun and Fauquier counties, starting and finishing at The Hill School in Middleburg, a town dating back to 1787. The course follows paved roads, some of them gravel, past horse farms and rolling countryside with plenty of shade. The full marathon and the Merikós (19.65 miles) climb Bull Run Mountain and come back down, for more than 3,000 feet of total elevation gain. Old Dominion Racing organizes the event, and the 2027 edition runs on Saturday, April 17 with five distances: marathon, Merikós, half marathon, 10K and 5K.
