  • All Runners in the Marathon and Relay will receive a Wineglass Marathon long sleeve high-tec shirt (Brooks' Podium shirt), a commemorative, unique glass finishers medal (Marathon Finisher Medals & Relay), Pleasant Valley NYS Brut Champagne with commemorative silk-screen Wineglass Marathon logo and race date and finisher certificate in the mail.

Refreshments and massage are available at the finish line. Showers are available at the YMCA (nearby the Finish area).
  • Buses: Because our course is a point-to-point race the best option for runners traveling without a non-running driver is to park at the Finish and take a bus to the start in the morning. This way you will not have to wait until the afternoon for buses to go back to the starting line to get your car.

    Buses for the Marathon and Relay are available before the race from the Finish Line parking area near Centerway Square to the Start Line at Philips Lighting from 6:00 to 7:00am. Buses are FREE to all runners.  This includes a late day bus from the finish to the start which will leave at 2:30 pm.

    Buses to the two Relay Exchange Points are available at the Start Line and from Relay Exchange Points to the finish line (again, there is no fee for these buses).
