Lake Placid Marathon and Half

Lake Placid Marathon and Half is held on June 13, 2027, in Lake Placid, New York. Three distances start together at 8:00 a.m.: the marathon (26.2 mi), the half marathon (13.1 mi) and a 10K (6.2 mi). No elevation gain is listed.

Lake Placid sits in the Adirondack high peaks, and courses there are rarely flat for long — run the climbs by effort and expect a slower time than you would post on a city course in the same shape. The compensation is the weather: mid-June in the mountains usually means cool, dry air, the conditions in which a marathon feels far more manageable than the profile suggests.
