About the Martin Marietta City of Oaks Marathon

Raleigh's established fall weekend shares one start area and finish celebration among marathon, half marathon, 10K, and 5K fields; the marathon is the longest test.

Course

The certified route uses central Raleigh roads, residential sections, and greenway miles. Repeated rollers rather than one major climb create the course's cumulative difficulty.

Race-day weather

Early November often brings cool, dry conditions, though rain or a warm sunny day is possible. Shaded greenways can feel colder than open city roads.
