Spring Classic | Mv Classic Series

MV Spring Classic

A Race for Everyone!

This race offers both a half and full marathon option! Taking place at the end of April, the Spring Classic allows runners to experience the Vineyard when it is just starting to wake up!

The Course

This course is the same as the previous marathon and half marathon that took place on MV. Mile markers and signs are clearly placed along the route with volunteers and police details positioned for your safety. Most of the course is on bike paths and we ask you do not run in the road when paths are available and passable. The roads will be open to trafﬁc and police ofﬁcers will patrol all trafﬁc crossings. Both courses are USATF certiﬁed (MA 16036JK, MA 16037JK) and will be very well marked with red arrows at each turn. We will also have course marshals at crossings. The marathon course is also a Boston Qualiﬁer, please be sure to cross when instructed by a course marshal.

The Spring Classic promises gorgeous ocean views, the natural beauty of the center of the island, and all the charm the island has to offer. Both courses are flat and fast, with a couple rolling hills on the marathon course. The finish line for both races is in Oak Bluffs, at Waban Park.
