Two Hollows Monster Marathon

Dryden, United States • 24 Aug 2025

The Two Hollows Monster Marathon and Half Marathon takes place in Virgil, NY, on scenic trails within the Kennedy State Forest, between Daisy Hollow and Babcock Hollow.

The marathon includes about 4,400 feet of elevation gain, while the half marathon has 2,200 feet.

Aid stations are spaced every 3–4 miles, but runners must carry their own hydration as the race is cupless. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
