About Us
What is the Series?
The MV Classic Series has four very different running events taking place on Martha's Vineyard. With distances starting at a 5K and going all the way up a full marathon, the Classic Series has a race (or races) for all running abilities.
The Series starts with the MV Winter Classic taking place in early March. This race will test the hardiest of runners with a distance of 20 miles (or as a two-person relay of 10 miles a piece) with unpredictable weather and running conditions. It's tagline is "No Weenies."
In the spring, we have the MV Spring Classic Marathon and Half Marathon taking place in late April. This race will sell out every year! As a Boston Qualifier and a cap of 600 runners, this is one you will not want to miss registering for ASAP.
The MV Summer Classic is the longstanding tradition of the Run the Chop race taking place in Vineyard Haven. The 5.25 mile course rolls through West Chop and promises runners a great start to their 4th of July celebrations!
The Series concludes in October with the MV Brunch Run. This race offers both a 5K and 10K option and is a flat and fast course through Katama. The best part? A delicious brunch at the finish line!
The best part of these races? All of the proceeds go back into the island community! Some of the organizations and groups include, but are not limited to: MV Youth Lacrosse, the Minnesingers, MVRHS Wrestling, Edgartown School 8th grade, Oak Bluffs School 8th grade, Rotary Club of MV, Edgartown Board of Trade, Amity Island Running Club, and MV Youth Hockey to name just a few!
