Scheduled for June 8, 2025, the Gorges Ithaca Half Marathon offers runners a picturesque journey through New York's Finger Lakes region. The race begins at Trumansburg High School, guiding participants through the charming town of Trumansburg, past the upper reaches of Taughannock Falls State Park, and onto the Black Diamond Rail Trail—a hard-packed gravel path that descends steadily into Ithaca. The final stretch runs alongside the Cayuga Lake Inlet, culminating at Cass Park. Runners will encounter five aid stations along the course and receive post-race refreshments, including a to-go meal from Fittnell Farms Catering. Early registrants are guaranteed an event tech tee, and all finishers receive a commemorative medal and bottle. Proceeds from the event support local organizations, including high school teams, parks, and fire departments.
