🏃‍♂️ Tromptown Marathon, Half and 5K Details

These three runs are some of New York State's, if not national, most challenging and yet scenic courses.

🏞️ Half-Marathon Course

• Course History: The half-marathon course, of 45 years, remains the same, but with new start and finishing lines.
• Scenic Route: It includes circling the lake, then the continuation of the sights, sounds, and smells of fresh country air intensify as you leave the dam near the half-way point.
• Stunning Views: As you head south for the finish line, the views unfold of the valleys and the village to the east.

🏅 Marathon Course

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