Peloton is heading to Virginia Beach for the Yuengling Shamrock Marathon Weekend, with three events spanning March 20 – 22, 2026 featuring instructor Marcel Dinkins.
Marcel shared the event details on Instagram, and has been involved with the Shamrock Marathon in years past, serving as host and MC for the event. This year, Peloton has a full weekend of activities planned around the race, including:
- Peloton Meet & Greet with Marcel Dinkins – Friday, March 20 from 12:00pm–1:00pm at the Virginia Beach Convention Center
- Peloton x Shamrock Shakeout Run – Saturday, March 21 at 2:00pm at Neptune Park, 31st and the Boardwalk
- Peloton Cheerzone at Mile 12/13 – Sunday, March 22 from 7:30am–11:00am at 40th Street, near the Cavalier Hotel
First is the meet & greet with Marcel Dinkins, which will take place at the convention center.
The shakeout run on Saturday is a 5K led by Marcel, designed as an easy-paced run to loosen up your legs ahead of race day. Check-in begins at 1:30pm, with a warm-up at 1:55pm and the run kicking off at 2:00pm. The event wraps by 3:00pm.
Runners and walkers of all levels are welcome, and designated pace groups will be available. You can RSVP for the shakeout run here.
On race day Sunday, Peloton will have a Cheerzone set up at Miles 12/13 to cheer on runners in both the Yuengling Shamrock Marathon and the Sentara Shamrock Half Marathon.
The Yuengling Shamrock Marathon Weekend is one of the oldest continuously running road races in Virginia Beach, now in its 54th year. The weekend includes a marathon, half marathon, and TowneBank 8K, with flat, scenic courses finishing along the Virginia Beach Boardwalk.
This continues Peloton’s growing presence at major running events. In addition to their NYC Half shakeout run with Matt Wilpers this weekend, Peloton has also hosted shakeout runs and Cheerzones at the RBC Brooklyn Half and the TCS New York City Marathon as part of their ongoing partnership with New York Road Runners.
