About the Niagara Falls International Marathon
Niagara Falls International Marathon is a destination race shaped by the Niagara River and one of Canada's most recognizable finish settings. The current course remains entirely in Canada, simplifying race-day border logistics for the international field.
Course
The marathon uses an all-Canada route through Niagara Falls and along river roads, with the Horseshoe Falls as the signature visual anchor. The course is certified for Boston qualification and generally runnable, though exposed water-side wind can be decisive.
Race-day weather
Late October is often cool enough for strong racing, with a real chance of wind, rain, or cold spray near the falls. Layers and flexible pacing are useful on exposed sections.
