About the event
We are proud to announce the certification of the Lake Placid Marathon course and are a BQ race. Certificate #NY17059JG.
Each year the event attracts up to 2,000 athletes from over 40 U.S States, Canada, and abroad.
The Half Marathon is a single loop out and back while the Marathon is a double out and back. Both races begin on Main Street in the charming Village of Lake Placid and end on the 400-meter outdoor speed skating oval track where U.S Speed Skater Eric Heiden won an unprecedented five gold medals in 1980.
The Marathon/Half course is a combination of flat, rolling and some hills and runners enjoy mountain views, open areas, shaded areas, a class III trout stream, and beautiful Mirror Lake along the way.
Well-stocked aid stations are available. The event offers a generous six (6) hour course limit for each race.
Athlete food at the Race Finish along with a quality finisher medal and a race T-shirt are among the benefits of the race. Please note: We reserve the right to change the racer gift and will inform you of any changes/options well ahead of race day.
The Lake Placid Marathon & Half was ranked the #2 “Best Destination” Race in the USA by a Runner’s World Magazine reader survey (source; Jan. 2010 issue).
We are walker-friendly and a great venue for a team or group destination event.
Age restrictions: The marathon is limited to those 18 yrs and older on race day.
The half marathon is open to anyone 13 years or older but must have a parent's signature IN PERSON at registration in order for a child to compete that is under 18 years old.
The entry fees include a charity component that allows us to make a donation to two local charities.
