Race Info
The Boston or Bust Marathon and Half Marathon run an extremely flat, fast course along Aldridge Creek and the Tennessee River in south Huntsville, Alabama. Both distances start and finish at Ditto Landing Marina and stay entirely on the Aldridge Creek Greenway. Both courses are USATF certified, and the race is a last-chance Boston Marathon qualifier each September. Source
