Race Info
The Tidewater Strider Marathon and Half Marathon Spring Edition runs each April on the Dismal Swamp Canal Trail in Chesapeake, Virginia, starting and finishing near mile post 4 of the trail. The marathon covers two out-and-back loops of the flat, USATF-certified 6.55-mile trail; the half marathon covers one loop. Find My Marathon ranks it the 2nd-fastest marathon course in Virginia and 68th-fastest nationally. It is organized by the Tidewater Striders, a Hampton Roads running club, on the same trail as the club's separate December Dismal Swamp Marathon weekend.
