Marathon & Half Route
The Muskoka Marathon features an Athletics Ontario–certified, Boston Marathon–qualifying course that starts and finishes at Santa’s Village. The scenic route follows the Muskoka River along Santa’s Village Road for roughly 5 km until reaching Wellington Street. Runners turn right for approximately 500 meters before making another right onto Beaumont Drive. The course continues along Beaumont Drive—still tracing the river—for about 5 km to the turnaround point at Kirby’s Beach, before returning to Santa’s Village.
The full marathon uses a double out-and-back route, with runners completing the loop twice. The course is relatively flat, with minimal elevation change (approximately 55 m total), and is run entirely on paved roads.
