Wineglass Marathon

Course & Elevation

The Guthrie Wineglass Marathon is a point-to-point road race through New York's Southern Finger Lakes, run on a Sunday in early October from Bath to Corning. The first Wineglass Marathon took place in 1982 with 291 runners, and the 2027 race is billed as the 46th. The marathon starts in Bath and travels the valley to Savona, Campbell, Coopers Plains and Painted Post, winding through several small towns and along country roads, before finishing on Historic Market Street in Corning. The Wegmans Wineglass Half Marathon starts in Campbell and also ends in Corning, and a Williams Toyota Wineglass 5K is held on the Saturday. Because the course runs one way, every runner in the marathon and the half marathon takes a bus to the start. The organisers call the course fast, flat and scenic, and say it sits within the 1,500 ft elevation-drop standard for Boston qualifying, so it requires no adjustment. All finishers receive a hand-crafted glass medal. The time limit for the marathon is 6.5 hours, and registration for the 2027 races opens on 1 December 2026.
