GBTC Grand Island Half Marathon

The GBTC Grand Island Half Marathon takes place in Grand Island, New York, in early May, and is a long-standing tradition in the Buffalo area that also supports the local community. The 13.1-mile race starts at 9:00 AM and includes chip timing, aid stations and portable toilets. Participants get live tracking, downloadable photos, a commemorative shirt and medal, and special recognition if it is their first half marathon. A post-race party with awards and refreshments follows, with prizes for overall winners, masters and age-group winners. The scenic route includes sections closed to traffic, which makes for a safer, more comfortable run.
