Introducing the Ave Maria Marathon, presented by Alpha Win! Just a short drive from Naples, Florida – the Ave Maria Marathon is located in the heart of beautiful Ave Maria and will include gorgeous, scenic routes for all distances. Athletes will have a chance to participate in the mile, 5k, 10k, Half Marathon and Marathon.
The Ave Maria Half Marathon and Marathon are now both USATF certified courses and Boston Qualifiers! The Half Marathon Course ID is FL21024JK and the Marathon Course ID is FL21026JK.
The Donahue Running Club is the official charity of the Ave Maria Marathon! The Donahue Runners see themselves as vindices veri vitutis, or defenders of true virtue. The club’s mission is a fusion of the sport of running with the universal call to virtue. It is founded on the words of Eliud Kipchoge: “Only the disciplined ones are free in life. If you aren’t disciplined, you are a slave to your moods and your passions.”
The club leaders encourage youth of all ages to commit to holding themselves to high standards of health: body, mind, and soul. Most are involved in the school’s cross country teams that span 3rd-12th grade, but they continue to run together, make meals together, enjoy camaraderie, and train for various races together throughout the year.
