About the Yonkers Marathon

The historic Yonkers full remains the signature distance in a city race day that also includes a half marathon and 5K. Its longevity gives the event national significance beyond its regional field.

Course

The road marathon unfolds across Yonkers and its hilly Hudson Valley terrain. Urban turns and sustained elevation changes reward patient pacing more than an aggressive start on the early miles.

Race-day weather

September in lower Westchester can bring cool morning air or lingering summer heat and humidity. Sun exposure and hills amplify warm conditions, while rain can make painted road markings slick.
