Tromptown Marathon
The Tromptown Marathon and accompanying half-marathon are scheduled for November 1, 2026. This will be the sixth year with the current time, day and season arrangement for the marathon. Both events are presented as loop courses and have been newly certified following recent changes to start and finish locations.
The half-marathon follows the same course used for the last 49 years, with new start and finish lines near the school. The course circles the lake and passes the dam near the halfway point. Runners head south toward the finish, with views opening onto the valley and the village to the east. The half covers parts of three counties.
The marathon follows the first 12.1 miles of the half-marathon course before turning south and then east near mile 17. Around mile 20 the route turns northwest and includes a short ascent known locally as "heartbreak hill." Between miles 22 and 25 the course heads west and descends with wide panoramic views of three valleys and surrounding hills. The final mile is level within the village. The marathon passes through parts of four counties and is listed as a Boston qualifier.
Both races start very near the finish area in front of the school. Liquid support is provided every two miles or less. T-shirts are not included in the entry fee but may be purchased for an additional $10. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
