Tromptown Marathon, Half and 5K

Tromptown Marathon, Half and 5K Overview

This will be the 6th year for a new time, day and season for the Marathon. The two runs are some of New York State's, even nationally challenging, and yet scenic runs. The half-marathon takes you through parts of three counties, the marathon through four counties. That curious fact for the marathon should put us as number one in the nation in that category.

Half-Marathon Details

• Course Description: The half-marathon course of 49 years remains the same, but with new start and finish lines.
• Scenic Route: It includes circling the lake, then the continuation of the sights, sounds, and smells of fresh country air intensity as you leave the dam, near the half-way point.
• Finish Area: As you head south for the finish line, the views unfold of the valley's and the village to the east.

Full Marathon Details

• Course Structure: The marathon takes in the first 12.1 miles of the half-marathon before turning south, then east at about the 17 mile point.
• Challenging Terrain: Beginning around the 20 mile marker one heads northwest and gradually ascends to Tromptown's own but short "heartbreak hill".
• Panoramic Views: From 22-25 miles one is heading west, finish line bound, descending with a wide panoramic view of three valleys and their surrounding hills.
• Final Stretch: The last mile is level in the village.

Course Information

• Course Type: The marathon and half-marathon are loop courses.
• Start/Finish Location: They start very near the finish line in front of the school.
• Certification: Both are newly certified, with the new marathon and moving the start and finish lines for the half-marathon requiring new certifications.
• Support Stations: Liquid support every two miles or less.
