From the Organizer
Join us for a Boston-qualifying Marathon and Half Marathon through the scenic lake-side village of Sackets Harbor and the surrounding area. This is an out-and-back course with the START and FINISH of both races on Pike Road along the Madison Barracks Polo Field in Sackets Harbor, NY. You will enjoy several miles along Lake Ontario before heading out to some beautiful country roads. Because the views along the lake are so awesome, you will run lake-side again, through the village, with a magnificent finish back at the Polo Field.

About This Sport
Endurance Grid is here to help you understand the sport, decide if it's the right fit, and learn how to prepare. For course distances, logistics, and race-day specifics, always defer to the race organizer's event page.
The half marathon is the distance where you find out what you're actually made of. Long enough to demand real preparation. Short enough that it doesn't consume your life to train for it. Most people who run their first half describe it as the race that changed their relationship with what they're capable of. Once you cross this finish line, the bar moves. That's not a warning — that's the point.
Race day energy varies by event size, but the finish line feeling is the same regardless. Big races keep the noise going the whole way. Smaller races give you stretches where it's just you and the miles — and that solitude becomes its own kind of fuel.
The half marathon rewards people who show up for the boring training miles.
How long to train: 10–14 weeks. If you're already running consistently, 10 weeks of structured buildup is enough. If you're building from a casual base, give yourself 14.
Running
From 5K to marathon, running races are the most accessible entry point into endurance sport. There's a distance for every fitness level and a community at every start line.
