The 2026 Erie Marathon at Presque Isle is a flat, two-lap marathon entirely inside Presque Isle State Park, starting and finishing at the Beach One / Erie Runners Club pavilion. The course is mostly asphalt with about a third concrete, and the park remains open to traffic, with runners holding the left lane. The race is USATF-certified and a Boston qualifier.

Why attend here

Autumn on the Lake Erie shore means crisp air and fewer crowds, making the park's shaded, lake-view course a calm escape. After your race, wander the peninsula's trails or the Erie Maritime Museum, and refuel with a Lake Erie perch sandwich at a local waterfront spot.

Course

The course runs entirely inside Presque Isle State Park, a 3,200-acre sandy peninsula curving into Lake Erie. It is a two-lap out-and-back along the peninsula, with a mix of shade and sun, and a grass shoulder alongside most of the paved route.
