The marathon is certified as a Boston-qualifying course (certificate PA21001NP). Registration options include single-day events, dual-day entries, and combo 5K/10K entries. A 10% discount is available for active duty service members and qualifying family members. Registered participants receive a t-shirt, finisher medal and running socks; first-time half marathon and marathon finishers receive a plaque. Some entries offer specialty shirts for completing two races or for running a Boston-qualifying time.
Course, amenities and race procedures
The course runs past rivers, bridges and forests and is described as having minimal climbs (gaining about 50 feet per mile or less). Mile markers and painted markings appear at each mile, and turn points have signage, cones and extra markings. Saturday marathon and half marathon pace groups are planned, with available paces generally from 3:30 to 4:45 per mile. Aid stations, hydration and post-race food are provided. Sunday will feature an on-site coffee and donut cruiser.
There are no early starts for the 5K or 10K. A single early start is available for the half and full; early starters do not receive awards and are expected to run at about a 15-minute mile pace or slower. Results are provided live by online, text and email, and finish-line photos are offered free. Awards include top overall and age-group prizes for male, female and X/non-binary categories.
