Fall is the most beautiful time of year for running, and if you’re looking for a great race option, check out the 2025 Rogue Marathon/Half Marathon/10k. This event, held on Saturday (woo hoo for Saturday races!) October 11th in Medford, is flat, fast, and gorgeous. It’s also a certified Boston Marathon Qualifier – and appears to be one of (if not the) fastest BQ marathons in Oregon.
The Marathon will start bright and early at 7a at Emigrant Lake County Park with the Half Marathon following at 8a at Paschal Winery and Vineyard in Talent. The 10k begins at 9:00AM in Medford on East 5th Street and there’s even a kids at that same location at 11a.
There will be a shuttle bus to the start of the marathon and half, located in front of the Middleford parking garage on 6th Street between North Bartlett and Riverside. The first bus for the marathon will leave at 515a and the last one leaves at 545a. The buses to the half marathon will run from 635a to 7a. Don’t be late!
