Marathon Team Series will launch its inaugural team competition in partnership with the Portland Marathon. Clubs from across the country will compete in a “race within a race” during the half-marathon event. Together, we are setting a new standard for community-driven racing.

THIS IS NOT YOUR TYPICAL RACE

We’ve reimagined long-distance running to bring the spirit of team competition back to the road.

Just like cross country, but on the streets of Portland. Whether you’re part of a run club, training group, or simply seven friends who want to run something bigger than themselves, this is for you.

All teams must register by September 1, 2025.
