The Two Rivers Marathon Course 1 video is the old course, however, so it won't be useful to you since we are using a new course. All of the others help show the spirit of the race as seen by the runners.

Beautiful Route, World-Class Pacers, & Community

I ran the half marathon on Saturday in 2024, and I found great joy in the experience of this event. I thoroughly enjoyed the environment and atmosphere. The event had the vibes of a small, intimate run combined with support and energy that felt absolutely electric. The race director's flexibility and the structure of the event were welcoming and allowed me to focus on my run that day. I always appreciate being able to get into the zone without any worry about logistics. There were zero logistical concerns with easy parking, easy bib pick up, easy bathroom access, and plenty of ways to make adjustments (starting time options, distance options) to make this run your own. I was beyond impressed that the race included so many pace groups. I have run large marathons that had no pacers, but for such a small event, the pacing team was incredible. I ran with the 2:00 half-marathon pace group for half of the race, and our pacer, Keith, was absolutely incredible. I cannot say enough how much his positivity and engagement with our little group allowed me to run the first half of the race smoothly and without any mental struggle. He kept us entertained and inspired, and I am grateful for his leadership, his work, and his attentiveness to our little group. I later found out he is Keith Straw, one of nineteen people who have completed 100 100-milers. How cool to have this caliber of pacer at such an intimate event! In any case, the bells and whistles of some larger events are not present here, but that was a plus for me. Even though spectating spots were limited on the course, there were groups that were driving ahead a few miles every so often and cheering their family and friends on the entire stretch. By the end of the run, I felt like I had made five new friends just from recognizing supporters from the course. If you are looking for an event with maximum flexibility without the fluff, this is a great run. The scenery was absolutely beautiful. I do wish they could close the road, but I understand why they cannot (it is pretty much the only road in the area...). They did a nice job managing traffic as well as runners. Thanks for a wonderful event! I will run it again!

Two day race festival in Poconos

There is a marathon both Saturday and Sunday in late March in northeaster PA. The weather this time of year in that region can be very marathon friendly. The race director is extremely flexible with allowing runners to transfer days (no fees, etc). This is a bonus if something comes up or the weather forecast is particularly bad one of the two days and you're looking to PR/BQ, etc. This is a small, well organized and laid back marathon. Parking was extremely easy, and there was abundant access to restroom facilities prior to the race. The course is 6.55 mile two loop out-and-back. There is a slight elevation gain on the way out, and resultingly a slight elevation loss on the way back. Pace accordingly! Certain sections of the road have a noticeable camber. Also, while the vast majority of drivers were very respectful, some were not and intentionally gave runners virtually no space. Stay alert!
