Erie Marathon at Presque Isle

Erie Marathon at Presque Isle

 

We will have a timer, course, shirt and medal.  There is construction in the beach 1 parking lot that will decrease space and due to our park permit you will need to walk from the parking lot at the top of the hill to the race on Sunday and after the race, It is a .6 mile walk.     We will have a course that is a certified course, timer, shirt, medal and after race food.  If you follow the page on Facebook this will give the most up to date information.  Will email during race week from runsignup to participants prior to the race.

There is a marathon only, the event is capped at 2000.   The Erie Runners Club also has a Half Marathon at Presque Isle in July.  This would be a great training run for the September marathon to share with friends who would like to run a half marathon.  Please follow the Erie Marathon on Facebook.  There is a 6 hour limit.

A little note about time:  Many places list the start as 6:30 am.  This is due to a limitation of the old (homegrown) calendar.  With the WordPress add-in we’re now using, 6:45 is possible.  But really, would you rather be 15 minutes early or 15 minutes late?  (And nobody feels bad about that 15 minutes.  The volunteers are all going to be there at 5 or earlier.)

SignUp

Packet Pickup

Packet Pickup is on Saturday the day before the race at Presque Isle’s Erie Runners Club Pavilion from Noon to 5 pm.  Come early to check out parking, race site, the beach, etc.
