About this race

The Catholic Health Suffolk County Marathon, Half Marathon, 10K & 5K to Support Our Veterans, scheduled for September 29, 2024, in Babylon, NY, is a well-established event with a deep commitment to supporting veterans. This race has a rich history of bringing the community together for fitness and fundraising, with its proceeds directly benefiting local veteran programs through the "MILE Mission." Participants can anticipate a welcoming atmosphere and a well-organized event across multiple distances, catering to runners of all levels. The courses generally offer a mixed terrain, often featuring a combination of paved park trails and local roads, which can include some gentle rolling hills. While typically held in late September, runners should prepare for potentially varied weather conditions typical of early autumn on Long Island, such as mild temperatures or possible humidity. A notable feature of this event is its strong community focus and its direct impact on veteran causes, making it more than just a race but a significant charitable endeavor.
