Registration

The Wegmans Wineglass Half Marathon

In 2011, the first Wineglass Half Marathon registration opened to 1,000 runners. This year, runners will have the chance to break personal records on the popular course. A number of those runners will be participating in the Wineglass Pinot Half Marathon Challenge (complete the Wineglass 8K, 5K and Wegmans Half Marathon).

Runners will take to the roads on this point-to-point course from Campbell, NY (the halfway point of the Full Marathon) to the finish line on Historic Market Street in Corning. The picturesque course winding through several small towns and along scenic country roads is fast and flat with an overall net elevation drop of 40 feet. (Course Time Limit - 7 hours.)

The VIP option is $300 from 12/1/2024 - 4/30/2025 and $350 from May 1, 2025 until sold out, with half of the fee going towards your entry and the other half supporting the Wineglass Scholarship Fund.
