HMRRC Winter Marathon

The HMRRC Winter Marathon begins and ends at the SUNY/Albany Phys Ed Bldg near the 400 meter track.

Mostly flat, five loop course. Loop one is 4.241 miles, loops 2, 3 & 4 are 5.492 miles each and loop five is 5.501 miles. Each loop of the marathon takes you from the SUNY/Albany Campus to the State Office Complex Campus (Harriman Campus) and back again. The new course established in 2003 is not much different from the course previously utliized for this event. Mile markers located at 1, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25.2 only.

This is a low key marathon. In the previous 44 runnings we have had 100+ finishers once, and that is just fine with us. This is a winter marathon in the Northeast. Any kind of weather is possible. If we get a substantial snow fall, we may need to reschedule (this happened once in the past). We have two aid stations on the course, water and a sports drink as well as an energy gel are available.

You can qualify for the Boston Marathon utilizing this race. The BAA is aware of this event and will be sent the results. The course is USATF certified.

No medals. We have never had medals and we have no plans to add them. This is a no frills low cost event. No Medals, no Expo!
