Great New York State Marathon Weekend
The Great New York State Marathon Weekend is a two day running event in October 2027 held around Onondaga Lake in Syracuse, New York. The course follows a tree lined loop around the lake. Race options include road distances on separate days over a weekend format.
Distances offered include:
- 5K
- 10K
- Half Marathon (13.1 miles)
- Marathon (26.2 miles)
The marathon course is certified and is a Boston Qualifier. The weekend includes single race entries and combined race entries labeled as Excelsior Challenges. Runners who complete one race on the first day and a second race on the second day receive an Excelsior Challenge medal described as a three spinner in addition to their individual race finisher medals. Some registration options are listed as not providing a medal on race day; those medals are mailed after the event.
The schedule spans two consecutive days with the shorter races on the first day and the half and full marathon on the second day. Results from prior years are tracked separately for the 5K and 10K and for the half and full marathon events. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
