Launched in the Spring 2014, Marathons & Half Marathons expects to become the go-to resource for runners looking to go 13.1 & beyond. Our unparalleled race calendar will be backed up by magazine-style reviews curated by our team and submitted by runners like you. We’ll also be actively encouraging race directors to tell us about their races, which we think will be a really neat way to connect runners and race directors.
Marathons & Half Marathons is brought to you by the same team, that created and manages NYCRUNS.COM, the New York City area’s largest and most comprehensive race calendar. Its sister site HVRUNS.COM dedicated to the Hudson Valley running scene, entered the scene more recently.
In addition to working with clients on races to provide timing services and running event management, New York City Runs produces over 50 races of its own each year.
Most importantly, NYCRUNS is made up of runners like you, and we’re creating this site because we need it too! We really hope you like it.
Rainy, wet day.
This is a beautiful course to run, from Lewiston to Youngstown along the water.
The course is primarily downhill with very little elevation to climb.
Specatators are pretty well positioned along the route, but with as much scenery to take in, you don't necessarily miss them when they're not there!
The finish, positioned in the park, is not great. You leave the road onto turf, which, due to the rain, was more a giant puddle of mud. It is also positioned at a choke point which forced everyone to a narrow path. Because of the number of participants and the width of the path, there weren't too many options to find solid ground to run on.
Post-race party…
