Buffalo Marathon 2027

A fast, mostly flat loop course through Buffalo, New York, with only about 100 feet of total elevation variance between its highest and lowest points. The race starts and finishes downtown near the Buffalo Convention Center (Delaware Avenue and Huron Street), heading north through historic neighborhoods and Delaware Park, then south to the Lake Erie waterfront before returning downtown. Landmarks include views of Lake Erie, Canalside, KeyBank Center, Forest Lawn Cemetery, and Frederick Law Olmsted's park and parkway system; the final exposed stretch around mile 25 can bring headwinds off the lake.
