Virtual Runner
Friday, March 20, 2026 – Sunday, March 29, 2026
Interested in joining us virtually for the Oakland Marathon benefiting Stephen & Ayesha Curry’s Eat. Learn. Play. Foundation to support local youth? Here’s how it works!
How does the virtual run work?
1) Sign up for the Virtual Run during registration.
2) Complete your run on your own wherever your local is between Friday, March 20 and Sunday, March 29!
3) You will be mailed the following the week after the race:
- official racing bib
- official event race shirt
- official finisher’s medal
How does timing & results work?
No official timing or results are necessary for virtual runners, but we’ll send you email instructions during race week to upload your result to our Race Roster leader board.Â
We encourage you to time your run, take a photo after you finish, and post your unofficial time with your photo to your social networks of choice with #oaklandmarathon!
