"Well-organized race, enthusiastic spectators" (about: 2024)

50+ previous marathons
COURSE: 5  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 5


The race was well-organized. Race pick-up included an option to pick up the morning of the race, which gives people from out of town a reasonable option. The organizers clearly paid attention to detail, such as managing the parking. Lots of enthusiastic volunteers made this a successful race.

I had to switch to the half marathon a few weeks prior to the race due to illness, so I can only comment on the half marathon course. It is an out-and-back course with the first half definitely more uphill than downhill, but nothing that would classify it as difficult. Water stations were great.

Start and finish area was also well organized and there was plenty of food and water for finishers.

Hopefully I can come back next year to do the marathon.

"Beuatiful Course; Wonderful Community" (about: 2023)

50+ previous marathons | 1 Sackets Harbor Marathon & Half Marathon
COURSE: 5  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 5


Beautiful small marathon in a spectacular area. Water stops were well manned by the community with great enthusiasm. After completing 64 marathons, this was the first one I did't finish. The hot sun, high temps plus humidity and the unshaded stretch through the farms affected me. There was no ice, hose or popsicles available to cool us down. I dropped out at 25.4 miles at our apartment because I was concerned about not only finishing but then needing to walk back to lodging. I think ice on the course would save ice in the medical tent. Otherwise, a wonderful race.

"well organized local marathon" (about: 2023)

4-5 previous marathons | 1 Sackets Harbor Marathon & Half Marathon
COURSE: 5  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 4


very well organized for a smaller local marathon. good amount of water stations. course is more varied than you would expect between the harbor/residential areas/farmland. overall elevation gain in the first half is only noticeable in a few places and if you go out conservatively gives you a good opportunity to negative split taking advantage of the net downhill on the way back to the finish. have to manage expectations given the race's size; there were roughly 300 marathoners in the inaugural year which means you might find yourself alone for stretches of the race
