Set for its 8th annual running along the fast, flat Montauk Highway here on the the south shore of Long Island, just over an hour and a half’s drive from New York City, the Catholic Health Services’ Suffolk County Marathon features a half marathon with a point-to-point route that features several miles of bridge running.
Runners — and walkers, as the race features a 18-minute mile time limit so both are welcome — will start the race in Babylon Village, a village of about 12,000 people that’s probably best known for its beaches and for being right across the Great South Bay from Fire Island National Seashore.
