Erie Marathon

The Erie Marathon is run at Presque Isle State Park in Erie, Pennsylvania, on September 12, 2027, with the marathon (26.2 miles / 42.2 km) starting at 7:00 a.m. Start and finish are at the Erie Runners Club’s Beach 1 pavilion. The mostly flat course mixes asphalt and concrete, with a parallel grass option, and follows the park’s lakes and ponds with open views all the way.

Water and Gatorade, plus portable toilets, are available every mile; the road is closed to spectators, who should bring their own refreshments. Capped at 2,000 participants, the race is a Boston Marathon qualifier, with a six-hour time limit and runner tracking available. Parking is at Waldameer Park, a short walk from the start.
