A blazing fast, certified course to run your fastest marathon or 10K.

October 14th, 2023 // Rockland Lake State Park, NY

 

Marathon

Bakline’s McKirdy Micro Marathon is meant for the “on the cusp” athlete looking to run the OTQ standard or faster. (Athletes must have achieved a time of 2:25/2:45 or equivalent to be eligible for entry, more information available on the registration page.)

Options are limited and proper support to run as fast as you are capable of is lacking in the vast majority of events around the country. Our event will be the ONLY RACE in the country with a total “in-race” support concept in mind for all participating athletes!

1 – Bottle support for all participants.

2 – Full course tangent line – stay on the line and run exactly 26.2 miles!

3 – Dedicated pacers 

4 – $10,000 shared prize purse to be evenly split amongst all who get the OTQ standard (international athletes eligible).

10K

The 10K distance seems to be the “forgotten” race distance, with fast 10K courses even harder to find. 

Open to all abilities, our 10K race is your best chance to run FAST! Run on the same looped course as the marathon, our 10K is touted to be on the fastest loop in the country! 

We encourage you to come watch the marathon and then run YOUR best 10K.

Testimonials

This was the second marathon I'd ever run. My first was at a large-scale race, and although it was a great experience, it didn't set me up to run as fast as I did at the McKirdy Micro.

Taking my marathon from 2:23 to 2:16 at Rockland Lake State Park was a moment I'll never forget. It was one of the greatest feelings I'd ever experienced.

Heather and James put on a hell of an event, and I can't wait to go back!
