You won’t find a race more convenient than the Buffalo Marathon. The full and half marathon use a common start and finish line that are located less than 900 feet apart. We finish directly in front of the Buffalo Convention Center, where the expo and post-race party are held. Our host hotel, Embassy Suites by Hilton is located around the corner from the Buffalo Convention Center. There are numerous alternate hotels and parking located close to the start line. If you are flying in for our event, the Buffalo Niagara Airport is about 20 minutes from downtown.
