Upstate Classic

The Upstate Classic is a new event created by ARE Event Productions. The inaugural running will be deployed and conducted in compliance with CDC and NYS Guidelines and Regulations similar to their 2020 Druthers Helderberg to Hudson Half Marathon.

THE SCOOP:
– All 3 races start and finish by the Grandstand at the heart of the Altamont Fairgrounds.
– The 26.2M is 2 loops of the 13.1M course.
– The 26.2M is a Boston Qualifier.
– The 5K shares the same first 1.6M as the longer races, at which time it turns around. (The 5K starts separately after the 13.1M/26.2M.)
– All 3 races have the same final 0.35M (put another way, they all do the same thing when on the fairgrounds property.)
– The event does cross railroad tracks. These tracks are inactive on weekends.

There is a whole course cut-off time of 6:15*. Marathoners must complete the first half in under 3 hours to be permitted to continue in the 26.2M; if over 3 hours, they will be switched to the half marathon.
