Short review

Come join us on Sunday, September 12, 2021, in the Olympic Village of Lake Placid, New York USA!

The 16th Annual Lake Placid Marathon & Half is a premier early season race hosted in the historic Olympic Village of Lake Placid, New York USA home of the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympic Games surrounded by the beautiful Adirondack Mountains. For 2021- the event has moved from 'early season' to September 12.  Registration/bib pickup is on Saturday, September 11, 2021, from 1 pm - 6 pm. The race is Sunday, September 12, 2021, starting at 8 am.

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 Parkside Dr. in the charming Village of Lake Placid and end at Jewtraw Park on Station St for a one-time special finish.

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 2021 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- the Lake Placid Central School Backpack Program and the Elmore SPCA.
