It is with great disappointment that we need to announce that the 2021 Buckeye Marathon event on January 2, 2021 will be changing to a Virtual Only event.
This is due to the recent increase in COVID-19 cases within Arizona and Maricopa County.
Registered Participants please refer to your email that was sent on 11/17/20.
Join us for the 7th Annual Buckeye Marathon, Half, 10K, 5K, and 1 Mile Fun Run Virtual Challenge.
NEW for 2021 - A 1 Mile Fun Run has been added and will replace the Obstacle Course!
Proceeds will benefit the City of Buckeye Youth Scholarship Fund, giving kids the opportunity to participate in recreational activities throughout the city.

Virtual Challenge Information
We are doing a Virtual Run with a twist! If this is your first Virtual Run, it is simple - all you need to do is run anywhere in the world that you are. It could be around your neighborhood, on the treadmill, or even at another race/event you are already running. You must have the RunKeeper app downloaded before starting your virtual run.
But what is the twist? We are doing a "Competitive" Virtual Run. Along with our partners at Race Roster and RunKeeper App we have developed a way for you to accurately track your run and report your time. No more "trusting" that everyone is running the same distance - now it is done automatically. That means that we can give out awards with the confidence that everyone is playing by the same rules.
To be eligible for Age Group awards you will have to track your run using the RunKeeper app. You will receive an email on Monday, December 21st with a link to use to track your run. Once you reach your distance your results/time will automatically be uploaded to our Results page!
You will have 11 days to complete your run (December 23rd - January 2nd). Awards will be mailed out along with your shirt and medal the week of January 3rd!
Please note that you are not required to complete in the Virtual Challenge. This is just for those who wish to earn an Age Group Award.
That's it. Simple!! If you have any questions about the process please email us at info@startlineracing.com.
Virtual Packets
Virtual packets will be mailed out the week of January 3rd. They will include an event shirt, finisher's medal and age group award (if applicable).
Virtual Registrations are restricted to US addresses only. If you reside outside of the US and wish to participate please contact StartLine Racing at info@startlineracing.com
