CNY Racing, LLC will be selling Wineglass merchandise at the Expo on Friday and Saturday. On Sunday they will be located in the  easternmost block of Market Street, just  before our stretch tent and the UPS gear bag trucks. Other merchandise is available at www.wineglassmarathonstore.com.

No. Bibs must be worn on the outside of all clothing at both the start and finish lines in order for chips to read effectively. Your bib must be visible at all times. Make sure NOT to bend the strips and that all emergency information on the back of the bib is complete. This is critical should you need medical attention on the course.

Please don't! We cannot provide replacement bibs to any runner, so make sure you keep it in a safe place after you pick it up.

A clear drawstring bag is included in your runner swag bag which you'll pick up at the Expo with your bib.  Bags have a sticker attached to them. WRITE YOUR BIB NUMBER ON THE STICKER and tie the bag before handing to UPS bag check volunteers at the start line.

Yes, but we will ONLY accept the CLEAR gear check bags! You will receive one in your runner swag bag. ALL items you wish to check must be in these bags. A Seneca Beverage truck will be at each start line. Volunteers will accept your "Clear Gear Bags". Gear Check will NOT accept any other bags, boxes, luggage, etc. NO EXCEPTIONS.   Write your bib number on your clear gear bag with a Sharpie.  Look for the Seneca Beverage  trucks at the start of both the full and the half.   Volunteers will have extra clear gear bags at the start lines in case you forget to bring your bag.  After the race you'll be able to pick up your bag from the Seneca Beverage trucks at the eastern most point of Market Street (near the Radisson), just past our merchandise and stretch tents.

Yes. You can get the bus from either location according to the schedule. You do not need to notify anyone of your change.

You will not be allowed to board the bus with a backpack or other large bag.  Hydration packs or Hydration vests are allowed but subject to search.  Please plan accordingly!

NO!  We have ample shuttle buses from Bath and Corning to the full start to make it easy to get a bus regardless of where you're staying. The start of the full marathon is just a 5 minute bus ride from Pulteney Park in Bath so those staying in Bath, Hammondsport and surrounding areas will find this convenient. Runner and driver safety is paramount and we cannot have runners walking across an active state highway.

Runners completing our GlassFest 8K in May, our Corelle 5K and our Half or Full Marathon in October are eligible for our Challenge.  Registration for the Challenges runs December 1 through the close of Glassfest registration.

NO!  Runner safety is our highest priority, and law enforcement will not allow pedestrian traffic across a busy and active county highway. Sheriff's deputies will be ticketing drivers who stop to drop off runners and runners will be held till after the race starts. Fortunately, Pulteney Park is just 1.5 miles further south on Rt. 54 and has ample parking and accommodation for runners.

We have added more buses to accommodate the increased number of runners. However, we ask that you be ready to board a bus before the last buses are leaving to ensure an on-time, stress-free ride! Bus end times will be the ABSOLUTE last buses! Don't let a missed bus be the reason you can't start your race!

You MUST take a bus to the start line for both races. No parking or drop off will be allowed at either start line. Bus shuttles are free and for runners only. Park in Corning near the finish line or in Bath near Pulteney Park and get buses to EITHER start line. Click HERE to see the bus schedule.

The buses are for runners only!

Full Marathon Start
With our bus schedule, you would be able to drive to Bath and park in the Pulteney Park area. Then jump on one of the last shuttles from Pulteney Park to the start line – which is a 5-minute trip. Keep in mind that the last of those shuttles will leave from Pulteney Park at 7:30AM so this is a stressful option for you just before your race!  

Half Marathon Start
No alternative available. Drop off near the start line and high school is not allowed this year as most roads are closed except for buses.   

Buildings at both the full and half starts will be opened for runners to wait. At the half start, the Campbell-Savona High School gym is open for runners to wait. Buildings for shelter are more limited at the start of the full, so please plan accordingly. Ample porta-johns are available at both start areas.

Please don't! We cannot provide replacement bibs to runners, so make sure you keep it in a safe place after you pick it up.

If you need to drop out and it is NOT a medical emergency, please make your way to the nearest water station or medical aid station. All stations are staffed with volunteer ham radio operators. They will ensure a sweep bus is called to pick you up and deliver you to the Transportation Center (85 Denison Parkway) located near the finish line. If you have a medical emergency that prohibits you from making your way to the nearest water station or medical aid station for a sweep bus, an ambulance will be called. Please make sure your family knows that you have dropped out of the race.

Please make sure you fill out the back of your bib and inform your Family/Friends of your bib number as well as predicted finishing time.

Five medical aid stations are located on the course as well as one at the finish. Medical volunteers will be wearing red medical T-shirts. Medical volunteers and supplies will be available at each station. If you incur an injury or feel discomfort, stop at the nearest medical aid station. Most runners who seek medical attention are able to complete the race safely.

Please make sure you fill out the back of your bib and inform your Family/Friends of your bib number as well as predicted finishing time.

No. The only bikers allowed on the course are those authorized by Wineglass organizers and local law enforcement. The authorized bikers will be leading runners, moving runners to the side, if needed, and providing necessary support. Unauthorized bikers will be asked to leave the course.

Yes. See additional information on our Course Stations page.

Yes, we will have five medical tents on the course, as well as a large medical tent at the finish line.

Half marathoners will have 7 hours to finish. Full marathoners will have 6 1/2 hours to finish.

Full marathoners must reach the mid-point of the course by 3 hours, 15 minutes (Campbell-Savona High School). As both the half and the full marathons are point to point races on the same course, length of time to finish is dictated by when the whole course closes.

We have buses which will loop around to the five medical tents on the course picking up runners who cannot continue and bringing them to the finish line area. This service is only for runners who are stable and will not need medical attention en route.

While we understand that you'd love to share your achievement with your children alongside, for the safety of your children and other runners, we are not allowing anyone without a bib on this part of the course. Our finish line area must be restricted so that medical staff can effectively access and treat runners. We appreciate your cooperation.
