Spectator Info

Cheer them on

Watching a friend or family member running in the Kingston City Marathon & Half is easier than you think. Your runner will follow the course while you take shortcuts to get to your next viewing location before your runner does.

Make your own unique signs that your runner can easily identify. Cheer sign-making stations will be available at the Expo.

Know your marathoner's expected pace per mile. Determine when to be at the Cheer Zone and back at the finish line to catch your marathoner or half marathoner.
