Description
Take in the famous views of the Thousand Islands and Thousand Islands bridge. Once again, we will be offering the 5K on Friday evening at the Thousand Islands Winery in Alexandria Bay. On Saturday, we will offer the 10K and Half Marathon on Wellesley Island along with the post-race festivities and awards ceremony. If you are feeling ambitious, you are more than welcome to consider the Island Double (5K & 10K) or the Island Super Double (5K & 13.1M). This event is part of the I ❤ NY Destination Series as well as the The Get Fit Half Marathon Series.
This year (2024) we are planning on enhancing your overall experience by offering you a free shuttle on an Uncle Sam's Tour Boat from Alexandria Bay to Wellesley Island ahead of your race (10K or Half Marathon) on Saturday morning. The shuttle is approximately 15 minutes in duration. There will be a return shuttle as well. We are working on the details and will communicate with all registered for the Saturday morning race events as we move along. There will parking available at the race start if you do not want to enjoy the free shuttle on Uncle Sam's Tou Boat.
The start/finish for both the 10K and Half Marathon will be at the Hart House on Wellesley Island this year so there will be slight alterations to both the 10K and Half Marathon courses.
