About Gorges Half
The Gorges Half is one of the most scenic half marathons in the country.

Just as Odysseus reached home in Ithaca in Book 13, so shall you reach the finish in mythical Ithaca at 13.1. Hopefully in less time, without the wrath of Poseidon, the allure of Sirens. Stay tuned for incentives in ‘27 to manifest your vision of the Odyssey. After a few rolling road miles, the course runs point to point on the Black Diamond Rail Trail, and ends in Cass Park along the inlet of Cayuga Lake in Ithaca.
