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. The half-marathon course, of 49 years remains the same, but with new start and finish lines. 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. As you head south for the finish line the views unfold of the valley's and the village to the east. The marathon takes in the first 12.1 miles of the half-marathon before turning south, then east at about the 17 mile point. Beginning around the 20 mile marker one heads northwest and gradually ascends to Tromptown's own but short "heartbreak hill". From 22-25 miles one is heading west, finish line bound, descending with a wide panoramic view of three valleys and their surrounding hills. The last mile is level in the village. The marathon and half-marathon are loop courses. They start very near the finish line in front of the school. Both are newly certified. With the new marathon and moving the start and finish lines for the half-marathon new certifications were required. Half-Marathon: The half-marathon is the same course as the last 49 years. However, all runs start very near the school and all runs finish at the same place in front of the school. Full Marathon: This marathon is a Boston qualifier The first 12.1 miles of the marathon course uses the half marathon course. Both runs are loop courses. Course closes at 2:30 pm Liquid support every two miles or less. T-shirts can be purchased for an additional $10

Do you need a ride to Staten Island? Well we offer one. It's a one time, very specific time ride, and what you do after you get there, is up to you. As they say, whatever happens in (or is it on) Staten Island, stays in Staten Island. Westchester Road Runner is offering a luxuriously bare bones ride to Fort Wadsworth, where you will proceed to wait for hours before you get to run for hours. Waking up before dark, sitting on a bus and being generally awesome is all included in the price so hit the SIGN UP and give us your money. For times and drop-offs, hit the EVENT INFO button. Before you call or email us-click the EVENT INFO button at the top of the page (hell, you can tap the two words the are highlighted right there =). That should answer all pertinent questions you may have. If it doesn't then you are probably the only person with that question and should ask yourself, "is it that important?" If you still feel the urge to ask the question, then hit the "Questions?" button below and ask away. If it's a question answered on the EVENT INFO page, we will mock you incessantly. If it's not on there, then you may be immortalized on that page as an addendum. A full refund, minus the processing fee, is available up to Saturday, September 19th at 11:59 PM. One minute later, at 12:00 AM on Sunday, September 20th and unfortunately there are no refunds available. Go to the Refund Policy at the top of the page to start the process.

The Taconic Marathon Bus will go directly to Staten Island non-stop. TRR members $30, everyone else $40. The Taconic bus will leave PROMPTLY at 5:30 AM from Downing Park. Runners will be dropped off in Staten Island at McLean Avenue and Lily Pond Road, about a 10 minute walk to the entrance to Fort Wadsworth. The bus will not be in Manhattan after the race, so you will need to find transportation to get home.

Ride with your teammates and fellow runners in style in a spacious coach bus (with a bathroom!) to the start of the 2026 NYC marathon! Seats available to VCTC members and nonmembers! When: Sunday, November 1 Time: check in 4:30-4:45; departure 5:00 am (SHARP)* * please note we cannot wait for latecomers!

You’ll have to make your way back to the Bronx from the finish in Central Park! And for those who tried to take the bus with us last year, never fear, we have a new reliable bus company, the same one that NYRR uses for their official buses!

Whether this is your first marathon or your last marathon...until next year, please stop by the Tortoise and Hare to share your race stories over a quick nosh, a drink, and some dessert. Light snacks, dessert, and first drink are on us! Anything additional is on you. *While this celebration is for everyone who has run, we encourage first-time marathoners to share their experiences.
