About the Combos(R) Marathon and Half Marathon

The course runs through Albany and is described as flat, which makes it workable for both runners and walkers. Aid stations come at regular intervals along the route, each stocked with water, Gatorade, Combos snacks, and energy gels and fruit as the miles add up.

The finish area has a hospitality tent with fruit, muffins, and bagels supplied by a local grocery chain. After the race, a street festival opens downtown with live music, food vendors, and activities for kids.

Common Questions About the Combos(R) Marathon and Half Marathon

Will I finish last at the Combos(R) Marathon and Half Marathon?

Almost certainly not. Half the 13.1 Miles field finished slower than 2:24:40, and the last recorded finisher came in around 4:43:31, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Combos(R) Marathon and Half Marathon a good first 13.1 Miles?

A field of 482 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 13.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Combos(R) Marathon and Half Marathon?

The 13.1 Miles winner ran 1:16:13 while the median finisher took 2:24:40. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
