About The Maple Run

The longest continuously held half marathon in St. Lawrence County, The Maple Run celebrates the end of winter, contributes to economic development in the community, and supports local youth running programs.

Distances

  • Half marathon: 13.1 miles, 8:30 AM start
  • 5K: 3.1 miles, 9:15 AM start

In-Person, Virtual, or Hybrid

The Maple Run encourages runners at all levels of development, so the options to participate are many. Runners can graduate from the 5K to the half marathon, or sample the half marathon virtually this year, on their own or with a group of running buddies, to prepare for next year. Participants can also try a bit of both with the hybrid half-marathon option.

  • Half marathon and 5K distances are offered as in-person and virtual events.
  • The half marathon only is available as a hybrid event. A hybrid participant may finish 10 miles of the half marathon on a course of their choosing, indoors or out, anytime before the 5K start on April 12, 2025. The final 3.1 miles are completed at the Maple Run event on Saturday, April 12, 2025 with the pack of 5K participants.

Low-Cost Youth Registration

  • Participants from 8 to 17 years of age on the day of the Maple Run may select a low-cost youth 5K or half-marathon entry.
  • Half-marathon youth participants are not eligible for age-group and overall placement awards..
  • All youth registrants will receive a shirt and finisher's medallion included in their entry fee.

Walk or Run

  • The half-marathon route will remain open for four hours, so speedy walkers and runner/walkers have time to finish.
  • Dedicated walkers are encouraged to try the virtual or hybrid option to test their mettle on the half-marathon course or opt for the in-person 5K.
  • The Maple Run start times for the in-person half marathon and 5K are staggered, so finish times closely coordinate between the two distances.

Wheelchair Athletes

  • The in-person, half-marthon course is fully on road with two steeper hills and open to traffic. Wheelchair athletes and special needs strollers are welcome on the course.
