The foothills of central New York State are the setting for the Trompton Run Marathon & Half Marathon, which takes place each August in this village of about 1,400 residents, just five miles south of the Tioughnioga Reservoir (also known locally as DeRuyter Lake).
Featuring a loop course that takes runners through the hilly terrain of the surrounding country roads and lake areas, the race is run in conjunction with the annual Tioughnioga Firemen’s Fair and features an early evening starting time of 5:15 PM for the one-mile fun run, 5:45 PM for the half marathon and a 6:00 PM start for the 5K.
