The Rockaway Beach Spring Marathon starts at 8:00 AM, giving you time to settle in the night before if you're traveling from out of town. Held on April 11, 2026, this race takes place at Beach 94th Street on the Boardwalk in Rockaway Beach, New York, and offers three distance options: a 1-mile run, a half marathon, or the full 26.2-mile marathon. Entry fees range from $45 to $105 depending on your chosen distance. Rockaway Beach provides a beachside setting for spring racing, with the boardwalk venue offering both proximity to ocean views and the practical advantage of a linear, flat course typical of waterfront routes. Whether you're targeting a full marathon or testing a shorter distance, plan accordingly for early morning packet pickup and warm-up time before the 8:00 AM gun.
