Catholic Health Suffolk County Marathon

The Catholic Health Suffolk County Marathon is a Long Island race weekend centered in Babylon and West Islip. The 5K takes place on Saturday, with the marathon, half marathon, and 10K scheduled for Sunday. Sunday's longer races begin in the Village of Babylon and conclude at Gardiner County Park, whereas the 5K is contained entirely within Gardiner County Park. This annual Suffolk County event, sponsored by Catholic Health, offers participants a choice between a short park race and a longer point-to-point road run. The course features the Robert Moses Causeway, a significant causeway connecting to the South Shore barrier beaches. The race supports a local cause, with all proceeds benefiting veterans programs on Long Island. For those unable to attend in person, the Virtual Mile Mission allows participants to complete miles anywhere throughout October, using various activities like walking, running, biking, swimming, or treadmill use, and even with a dog.

Suffolk County Marathon

The Suffolk County Marathon is an annual Long Island race weekend featuring a full marathon, half marathon, 10K, 5K, 1K Kids Fun Run, and a Virtual Mile Mission. The main Sunday races begin in the Village of Babylon and conclude at Gardiner County Park in Bay Shore. Saturday races start and finish within Gardiner County Park. The 5K remains entirely within the park. Combo entries are available, including marathon-and-5K, half-and-5K, and 10K-and-5K, for participants seeking multiple events. The half marathon and marathon routes cross the Robert Moses Causeway, incorporating a distinct Long Island landmark rather than a simple road loop. The event accommodates a broad spectrum of runners and walkers; the 5K is open to ages 14 to 99, and a children's race is provided for younger participants. The Virtual Mile Mission allows participants to complete miles through various activities like walking, jogging, biking, swimming, or using a treadmill. This race series supports local veterans programs, with proceeds benefiting veterans on Long Island. The marathon has contributed over $1 million to local veterans' services.

TCS New York City Marathon

The TCS New York City Marathon begins at the foot of the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge on Staten Island and sends over 52,000 runners across New York City on the first Sunday of November. It is the world's largest marathon, with a field that includes top professionals, wheelchair racers, club runners, charity runners, and first-timers from over 140 countries. The route moves from Staten Island through Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx before finishing in Manhattan, turning the race into a five-borough tour with over one million people watching from the streets. The event began with just 127 entrants and 55 finishers on a four-lap Central Park course, then later grew into the citywide race it is now; over 1.2 million people have finished it since the first running.

Pocantico Hills Races

Veterans Marathon and Half Marathon

Veterans and active duty military receive a special paper-registration offer for the InFirst Bank Veterans Marathon, Half Marathon & Relay, which includes discounted pricing and a complimentary T-shirt. The event is based in Blairsville, Pennsylvania. Pre-race packet pickup occurs on a Saturday in late October, with race-day pickup on Sunday morning at Saylor Park. The Indiana Road Runners Club organizes the race, which raises funds for local veterans, integrating the military theme into its name and registration process. Participants can select the marathon, half marathon, or relay. The event offers course details, aid station information, and a trail map. The marathon holds significant competitive value, having previously served as the Road Runners Club of America Pennsylvania State Championship race. Overall male and female winners, as well as winners in the 40+ and 60+ age groups, are state champions. Race photos are distributed via John Swauger and the Indiana Road Runners Club, and historical results are available online.

3 Days at the Fair

3 Days at the Fair is a fixed-time ultrarunning series held in May at the Sussex County Fairgrounds in Augusta, New Jersey. Runners can choose from 6, 12, 24, 48, 72, or 144 hours, with separate day and night options for the shorter races. Marathon and 50K races are also offered on multiple days, and the Quadzilla challenge requires finishing four marathons or four 50Ks during the event. The course is a flat, certified 1.000-mile loop on pavement and crushed gravel, with gravel comprising about 5 percent of each lap. The marathon course is certified as a Boston Qualifier, and the 50K is certified as well, making lap counting important alongside endurance. The loop is lit at night, runners can view a live display for laps and position, and the fairgrounds provide a practical setting with heated bathrooms, showers, a full kitchen at the aid station, space for tents, RV parking, and electrical outlets near camping areas. Phil McCarthy set an American record at this race, which suits its design for participants who aim to keep moving, rest as needed, and then resume for another exact mile.

About Marathon races in New York

New York Training Notes

New York hosts 15 Marathon races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.

Locals run Central Park when they want mindless base miles, because the full loop sits just over six miles and always brings you back. Prospect Park gives Brooklyn the same easy rhythm, and three full Central Park loops get runners to 18 miles with close to 800 feet of gain. The Manhattan Waterfront Greenway is a 58-mile loop with gorgeous water views. Front Runners, Queens Distance Runners, North Brooklyn Runners, We Run Uptown, and New York Road Runners keep the week full. 1 NYC and ASICS Blue Jean Mile - NYC work as anchor events.

Locals ride Central Park for laps, 9W for serious spandex, and the Hudson River Greenway when the legs need steady Z2. New York Cycle Club brings rides at all pace levels, weekend trips, SIG, and a loud local voice. The 5 Borough Bicycle Club, Rapha, TNSR, Cycleholic_nyc, Nycbikeandbrew, and Brooklynscyclingfamily fill in the social side. Central Park loops are 8 km and climb 28 m. Bear Mountain is 5 km and climbs 1,906 m, so that is where the real climbing talk starts. Staten Island, Westchester County, and Quaker Hill handle gravel, singletrack, and cyclocross legs.

New York works year-round if locals stay flexible. Winter gives runners and cyclists the best empty-park training, and Central Park, Prospect Park, and Floyd Bennet Field get better for long aerobic workouts. Summer gets hot and humid, sunny, and beach rides toward Long Beach/Point Lookout or Rockaway Beach feel worth it, especially at night. Snow usually melts off streets quickly, but slippery roads change the bike choice. Salt sends the race bike inside, and the B bike gets the winter miles. Locals still share the road, even at 5am, so intervals stay sharp but never careless.
