Long Island Marathon Weekend

Long Island Marathon Weekend delivers the kind of full-service race festival that appeals to both goal-oriented runners and families looking for a broader event experience. Centered at Eisenhower Park in East Meadow, the weekend stretches across three days, beginning with a Friday night 5K, continuing with a Saturday 10K and kids’ race, and culminating Sunday with the half marathon and full marathon.

That structure gives the event a true festival feel rather than the atmosphere of a single standalone road race. It also makes it especially attractive to runners who want a destination-style weekend without the scale or chaos of a major marathon. Official race branding positions it as Long Island’s premier competitive running event, and the schedule, expo, and multi-distance lineup support that identity.
