Description

Marathon, Half Marathon,10K, 5K, and 1 mile races set in the peaceful, rolling hills of Amish County in Randolph, NY on September 23, 2023.

NO CUT-OFF TIMES

Enjoy this course as it rolls thru the largest Old Order Amish Community in the US.

The Half Marathon and Marathon will give you breathtaking views from vistas that you won't get anywhere else. A challenging, hilly course but one that you will be so glad you conquered.  You will see working Amish farms, clotheslines full of crisp, clean laundry, the colors of autumn, and be greeted by waving Amish families as you run past their homes.  

The 10K, 5K and 1 mile will provide you with a pretty run in the country, starting and finishing on a very flat course. 

Finisher medals, long-sleeved race t-shirts(only if signed up prior to 9/5), fully stocked aid stations at each mile, STBC Beer Zone, fire pit, massage therapists on site, and more, believe it or not.   

Did we mention that this course is hilly??  Train for the hills and challenge yourself on one of the toughest yet most gorgeous marathon and half marathon races there is.   The course is on paved roads the entire way.  No cut-off times!
