Race Info

The Long Island Marathon began in 1973 as the Earth Day Marathon, a continuation of the Bronx-based Cherry Tree Marathon. It took its current name in 1978 and added a half marathon in 1984. The race starts and finishes in Eisenhower Park in East Meadow, with the marathon course completing two loops of the surrounding park roads and bike paths. Race Awesome now produces the event for the Nassau County Parks Conservancy as a multi-day weekend that also includes a half marathon, 10K, 5K, and kids' run.
