Old Forge Marathon
Race Day Weather
Cool start — fast day potential, big temp swing
A cool 48°F at the start line is ideal for fast times — expect to warm up quickly once you're moving. Temps will climb significantly to 80°F by later miles, so expect fading conditions as the race progresses. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing. Moderate humidity at 67% is worth noting for effort level, especially in later miles.

Race Info
The Old Forge Marathon Weekend takes place each September in Old Forge, New York, a gateway community on the western edge of Adirondack Park. The marathon and half marathon run mostly on gravel and dirt bike trails between Old Forge and Eagle Bay, with rolling hills and fall foliage typically near peak color. The marathon is a Boston Marathon qualifier and draws a small field, with 81 finishers in 2025. Proceeds benefit the Old Forge High School Key Club and other local organizations.
