Snickers Marathon and Half Marathon

Apr. 3, 12:00AM – Apr 17, 12:00PM

To prioritize health and safety, the 15th annual SNICKERS® Marathon and Half Marathon events are moving to a virtual format to avoid the potential spread of COVID-19 and allow runners to safely participate while achieving their personal goals. The virtual event time frame will be April 3-17, 2021 and it will include the SNICKERS® Marathon and Half Marathon. Participants will be able to upload their results via the SNICKERS® Marathon and Half Marathon website in partnership with Race Day Events and RunSignup®. Once registrants complete their run or walk at their preferred location and we receive their results, we will mail their race bags which will include a race medal, running shirt, SNICKERS®, Combos®, and other swag. We do need all runners to make their decision by February 25, 2021, to give us time to put together all of the virtual race packets and order the proper mailing boxes. Go >
