We’re excited to announce the dates for the 2025 Poetry Marathon! This year will be another chance to write one poem per hour for 12 or 24 hours, with a truly international contingent of poets. As always, this will be a completely free event.
The 2025 Poetry Marathon and Half Marathon will start on May 17th. The full marathon will continue on to the 18th.
As per usual the marathon will start at 9 AM ET on Saturday the 17th and end at 9 AM ET on Sunday the 178h. Half marathoners can start at 9 AM ET or 9 PM ET on Saturday the 17th. We use ET as the starting time because many Marathoners are in that time zone, but please check the time at date in your own time zone before marking it on the calendar.
We will open up registration on the 22nd of April at 9 AM and it will close at 9 PM on May the 9th. If you want to participate please sign up during this period. The registration form will be hosted here, starting on the 22nd od April.
