The Mohawk Hudson River Marathon

28th Mohawk-Hudson River Marathon
Sunday, October 10, 2010

Race along the historic Mohawk and Hudson Rivers utilizing 18 miles of paved bikeways. The USATF certified course starts in Central Park in Schenectady and finishes on the the bike path in downtown Albany. The course generally follows the Mohawk River, on paved bicycle trails, then proceeds to the Hudson river, via the historic city of Watervliet. The course passes immediately in front of the Watervliet Arsenal, the nation's only large bore cannon manufacturer. The historic munitions plant opened in 1813, and is still a major producer of munitions. Shortly after passing the Watervliet Arsenal it's back to the bike path for the final 5 miles along the historic Hudson River. There is a net elevation loss of 370 feet. The course is certified and is a favorite among Boston Marathon qualifiers.
