Frequently Asked Questions
Is the course stroller-accessible?
No. About six miles of the course are on fire road, gravel, and rocky descent, which is not passable with a stroller.
Can I run with my dog?
Dogs are not permitted on the course. This is for the safety of the dog and the other runners. Service animals may accompany handlers with prior approval. Email Gary first so we know to expect you.
Can I bring my kids to watch?
Yes. The start and finish areas on Main Street are family-friendly and have restrooms, food, and seating. The mile 16 aid station is also accessible by car and has a designated spectator area. See the spectator guide for details.
What if it rains?
The race runs in light to moderate rain. Lightning, hail, or flash-flood conditions on the course trigger a hold, and runners get paused at the nearest aid station until it clears. If the hold runs past two hours we may end the race early, and times to that point stand. See the weather notes on the Logistics page for what July usually does.
Do you have a bag drop?
Yes, at the start line. Bags are returned at the finish area. Please don’t leave valuables in your bag; we can’t be responsible for lost items.
Is there a shorter option?
No. The Catskills Mountain Marathon is only a marathon. For shorter distances, check out the Phoenicia 5K in September.
Can I transfer my bib?
Yes, up to July 8. Email Gary with the new runner’s name, email, and age. No fee. After July 8, no transfers.
