World's Okayest Slowest Marathon
Lowell, United States • 24-25 Jul 2026
World's Okayest Slowest Marathon
This in-person event asks participants to complete the marathon distance by running 1.09 miles every hour on the hour until the full marathon distance is covered. The format spaces running efforts across the event period so each mile block is separated by long rest intervals rather than a continuous run.
The location is 17795 Violette Lane, Lowell, IN 46356. Participants are expected to remain on site between their hourly miles; the event description notes that runners may camp out or set up chairs and other gear to rest between segments.
A finisher medal is mentioned for participants who complete the required repeated miles. The event is presented as an organized, in-person endurance format with hourly checkpoints rather than a single continuous course.
Practical notes provided by the organizer include that the event runs across roughly a daylong period and that there is a no refunds policy. Entry appears to be offered through a single listed price point. Additional operational details such as exact check procedures or support services on course are not specified in the available information.
