Marathon Race Route Description

Marathon Race Route Description The marathon route (new for 2015) is a simple out and back layout with two extensions on the return leg with start and finish in River Mill Park. That’s simple enough, right? OK, so we’ll admit it’s not exactly a simple out and back layout and it looks like a crazy twisted tree on a map! LOL. Don’t worry, we are well known for marking our courses thoroughly with large orange pylons closely spaced along the whole route and it’s not as complicated as it might seem. In consultation with local marathoners, Muskoka Algonquin Runners (MARs), we’ve chosen the flattest route we could achieve while maintaining the scenic and peaceful layout of our half marathon course. So, the marathon course is the out and back half marathon course, with two out and back extensions: one along Old North Road in the North West, and the second along Williamsport Road in the North East. The route forms a partial loop run clockwise starting north on Centre St N and eventually returning along Shay Rd, Chaffey, Elm and John Streets and crossing the Main St bridge towards River Mill Park.
