SHAKE OUT & HANG OUT

On the morning of November 5, 2026, runners are invited to participate in a special pre-race event ahead of the Monumental Marathon. The 3-mile shakeout run begins at the Bottleworks Hotel and offers participants an ideal opportunity to warm up before tackling the main event on the following day.
The route takes runners through the vibrant streets near the hotel, providing them with a scenic preview of what lies ahead for those competing in the full marathon or half-marathon. The flat terrain makes it perfect for a relaxed jog, allowing runners to focus on pacing and getting their bodies ready without pushing too hard.
Participants can enjoy the camaraderie as fellow competitors gather early in the morning, sharing stories and tips before the big day. This casual run is designed to be an enjoyable start to what will undoubtedly be an exciting weekend of racing.
The event promises a welcoming atmosphere with supportive volunteers at the starting line and finish area, ensuring that everyone feels prepared and motivated for the challenges ahead on November 6th.
