The Palisades Half Marathon is back for its second year! Registration is now open for our 2025 race, which will take place on Sunday, September 21st. Join us for a stunning 13.1 mile run over 1600 ft of elevation change along the majestic Palisades Cliffs. Whether you are joining for the vista views or fall marathon training, this race guarantees serious challenge and breathtaking reward in equal measure!

The race will begin at Ross Dock Picnic Area located in the Palisades Interstate Park in Fort Lee, NJ. Car and bike parking will be available along with regular shuttle bus services between Uptown Manhattan and the Start/Finish Line.

All proceeds benefit the Palisades Parks Conservancy and the network of 29 parks and historic sites stretching from the GW Bridge to the Shawangunk Ridge and the Catskill Mountains. 

With an elevation change of more than 1600 feet, the Palisades Half Marathon is a challenging race, but the setting makes it more than worth it!
