About the Wineglass Marathon
Welcome! The course is fast. Very fast. Personal records tend to fall here. Beyond the chance for a PR, the speed also makes Wineglass one of the top spots to qualify for the Boston Marathon. And the early autumn scenery is stunning. These are just a few of the reasons runners love the Wineglass. Source
