The atmosphere, the scenery, and everything and everyone involved made this race truly great! It is only going to become even a bigger event in the coming years! MORE

This was my first marathon and I lucked out with a very good one!
The course was a relatively flat out and back finishing in Sackets Harbor. The town really turned out to support the race with plenty of volunteers and aid stations. (There was even a horse)
I definitely recommend the race to other runners!

Not only was this my first 1/2 marathon, this was also the first inaugural Sackets Harbor Marathon, that was a Boston Marathon qualifier. For first time race organizers, it was planned beautifully. Communication with important information about the race was frequent through email notification, all pertinent information was given in a timely and organized manner. The course was an out and back with few inclines, as a new runner the views were great and the crowd encouraging. There is a mixture of lake views and country roads. Be sure to pack hydration and gels, the weather in upstate NY can vary. This day was unseasonably high temps for the location in September. Plenty of food post race after receiving your finishers medal, great post race atmosphere and music. Swag was a beautiful race pull over that I plan to wear all of fall and winter. There are a lot of merch options to purchase prior to race on line and at packet pick up. Lots of photographers with lots of race pics available. Plenty of places within walking distance of finish line to eat, grab a beer and relax post race as well. If you’re new to races and looking for a 1/2 or full, this is a very welcoming race and a great place to start. Register and plan early for hotel accommodations in town. Once filled, the next closest hotels are a 10min drive from start of race. Lots of parking directly at start/finish line of race. This is my second race in total and I’m looking forward running this again next year. I plan on doing the full marathon next time around.

This was the first race for this RD who is a runner. The prerace communications were the best I’ve ever seen. Even with coming from out of state, I felt I knew what to look for on course along with things to see in Sacketts Harbor. The course was great, just a couple small hills. The support along the course both from volunteers and the community was spectacular. The medal was beautiful featuring the logo and historic sites in Sacketts Harbor. The 1/4 zip was very nice
I would recommend this if someone is looking for a great race in NY

This was a great race from start to finish . The emails leading up to the race inspired you yo train. This race was put on by someone who ran and knew what runners wanted – a great shirt that had an elegant design on the long sleeve shirt that was quality- you couldn’t see through the shirt. The medal captured the city and runners. The crowd support was wonderful from the jello cups to the frozen ice pops to the sprinklers on and the homes that had turned up their stereos. It was a home town feel and everyone was cheering for you to finish. The course was well marked and there were volunteers at all turns so your brain could go on auto pilot . The race was scenic and historical . The course was rolling but not hills. There was plenty of parking at the start of the race and there was lots of things to eat at the end of the race. This race deserves a 5 out of 5
