      "profile": "A genuinely flat, fast city loop and one of the strongest Boston qualifiers in the Northeast. The course starts and finishes downtown near the Buffalo Niagara Convention Center on Delaware Avenue, then heads out to LaSalle Park and runs roughly seven miles along the Lake Erie waterfront — past the Erie Basin Marina, Canalside and KeyBank Center — before swinging back through downtown around Niagara Square and the landmark Art Deco Buffalo City Hall. From there it climbs gently north up Delaware Avenue to loop historic Forest Lawn Cemetery and the Frederick Law Olmsted-designed Delaware Park, passing the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, then returns down Delaware to the downtown finish. Total elevation gain is only about 585 feet (178 m) over 26.2 miles with no real hills, so it rolls almost imperceptibly. As a USATF-certified Boston qualifier it routinely sends a strong share of finishers to Boston — about 10.5% qualified in 2025 (10.3% in 2024) — making it a reliable flat-course PR and BQ destination. USATF-certified.",
