We will have water stops with water and lemon lime Gatorade. They will be spaced about a mile apart and will also have a porta-potty near each.

Location – Everything happens at the Erie Runners Club Beach 1 Pavilion on Presque Isle State Park. This location will be the start and finish for the marathon.  All race participants must park at Waldameer or the Ridge Center and walk down the hill.
It doesn’t get much flatter with less than a 250-foot total change in elevation for the marathon. The running surface is mostly asphalt but there is still about a third that is concrete. However, most of the course offers a grass surface along the paved surface should you choose to run there. There is a considerable amount of shade and sun on the course, so it just depends upon if your glass is half full or half empty.  This is an all-volunteer run race with a cap of 2000.  We do offer race tracking with RaceJoy and pace groups are contracted through marathonpacing.com.  The course is a Boston Qualifier. 
Event insurance is sold and charged by a separate company and has a separate charge, this is offered through runsignup all questions about insurance go to them,    There is a 6-hour limit and anyone not keeping a 14-minute place will need to finish on the all-purpose trail, you may be moved to the all-purpose trail earlier by request of park rangers.
