The Course

• The marathon (2 loops) and half marathon (one loop) will be run on Rte 590/Towpath Road.
• This course is equivalent to miles 11.75 to 18.64 on the old course. This course will start at the finish area in the park, turn right on Rte 590, go over the bridge and go left for almost 6+ miles.
• A course map is here. It shows one loop of the course. Double it for the marathon.
• We'll have an open start line for the marathon and half marathon.
  • You can start anytime between 06:45 - 09:00 am.
    • If you'd like to start before 06:45 am, just let me know and I'll get you off and running!
• The marathon will have a 6 hour time limit.
  • Please start early if you think you may exceed the 2:30 pm course closure.

Elevation

I know there are different definitions about course descriptions. What is a hill to one is only a boomp to another. What we can say about the elevation on the course is this:

• The low point of the course is at 617'.
• The high point is 5 miles later at 821.'
• This means in 5 miles on the way out to the turnaround, you 'climb' 204.'
• That calculates to a grade/climb of .77%.
• This means the climb is less than 1%.
• You are running with the Lackawaxen River on your left on the way out to the turnaround.
• This will be the less than 1% climb going out.
• You'll also have less than 1% elevation loss on the way back to the start/finish area (You'll do this twice for the marathon.)
• 5k and 10k courses will remain the same.
• Marathon will be on a certified course
• Saturday slots are 7:45 am start for the marathon and 9 am start for the half marathon.

Aid stations

• There will be three aid station on the course, which means you'll have 6 aid stations per loop (13.1 miles).
• The aid stations will be self-serve, with sealed small water and Gatorade bottles.
• There will be plenty of garbage cans on the course.
• Athletes are responsible for putting used water, Gatorade, bananas, gels, or similar items in the garbage cans.
• The township has requested a zero garbage on the ground policy for health reasons.
• There will be garbage cans 50 yards on each side of the aid station, as well as a garbage can placed halfway to the next aid station.
• There will not be any marathon pacers for the Saturday marathon in order to minimize grouping of athletes.
