Gorges Ithaca Half Marathon
The Gorges Ithaca Half Marathon takes place on June 7, 2026, and finishes at Cass Park, 701 Taughannock Blvd, Ithaca, NY. The course starts on South Street in Trumansburg and runs toward Ithaca, finishing along the base of Cayuga Lake in Cass Park.
The route passes through downtown Trumansburg, moves by the upper tip of Taughannock Falls State Park, and uses the Black Diamond Rail Trail for a steady descent on hard packed gravel back toward Ithaca. The final mile runs north along Cayuga Lake to the finish. Course configuration may change.
Event services include five aid stations on course, post race to go food provided by Fittnell Farms Catering, an event tech tee guaranteed to registrants before May 1, a finisher's medal and a bottle. The event also supports donations to local entities including high school teams, parks, and fire marshals.
Packet pickup is scheduled across multiple locations and days: Finger Lakes Running Co in Ithaca on Thursday and Friday from 12 00 to 18 00; Garretts Brewing in Trumansburg on Saturday from 12 00 to 18 00; and Trumansburg Central School Complex on Sunday from 5 30 to 7 15.
