The events are back on for May 21. The races will happen!
I received so many emails that I realized there is a place for the race on the calendar!
- All registered athletes will receive an embroidered race jacket with a full length zipper. We are known for our race jackets at the Two Rivers Race Festival and we are very happy to be able to offer them for Endless Mountains racers.
- The shirts are gender specific this year!
- We also feature finisher's medals. The trains on the medals are very popular.
- More event information about medals and our tshirts, etc. are available at our Endless Mountains Race Marathon Race Festival Website.
- We love the Marathon Maniacs and Half Fanatics!
- One fun thing we do is to have 5 races: a marathon, half marathon, 10k and 5k, and a 5k and 10k Combo Platter--do both the 5k and 10k and be eligible for more awards.
This event is brought to you by the same fine folks who produce the Two Rivers Marathon Race Festival in March of every year 35 miles away in Lackawaxen, PA. The Two Rivers events will be held March 26-27, 2022. You can find info at Two Rivers Race Marathon Race Festival website.
Here are photos of the shirt and medal for 2022!
GREAT STUFF
Here's some examples of the great stuff from our 2021 races. Finisher's Medal, jackets and so much more.
The 2022 artwork is being developed by our artist right now and I'll post it as soon as it is created and approved.
COURSE INFORMATION
Link to Course Map click here.
The event location is at the D&H Trailhead, Commerce Blvd., Forest City PA 18421. Click for Google maps info.
The D&H Rail Trail is basically a flat course. The half marathon is an out and back loop. The marathon is two out and back loops.
MAP MY RUN
Here's the mapmyrun course map (it shows one loop for the half marathon):
https://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/view/4064884396
The trail is hard packed. Over 99% of the course is on the trail.
You can see on the mapmyrun link course elevation. The course starts at 1474'. The turnaround point is at 1727'. Over 6.55 miles, you'll climb 253'. That is less than a 1% per mile climbing gradient. You lose 253' going back to the start, descending less than 1% per mile on the return.
It's a former railroad line so the course has to be nearly flat for rail cars to transit it.
- The marathon is on a certified marathon and half marathon course. The marathon will be a Boston Qualifier.
- Aid stations: There will be three 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.
- Portapotties are located at the race start area and at each aid station.
RACE LOGISTICS
- The marathon and half marathon start at 0730am. Athletes are welcome to start as early as 0630am if they feel they need more time.
- The marathon course will close at 2pm. We'll have the finish arch up for you and have your finisher's medal ready for you!
- the 5k race starts at 0745 and the 10k race starts at 0845. You can race either the 5k or 10k...or challenge yourself and race the 5k/10k Combo Platter!
- We will have post-race food.
- If you post a Boston Qualifying time in the marathon, you'll receive an "I Qualified for Boston at the Endless Mountains Marathon" shirt.
ATHLETE SATISFACTION
Endless Mountains will have the same commitment to Athlete Satisfaction as all of our other events. You'll be part of an organized, fun event with great shirts, finisher's medals, on course aid stations, and awards. We do it BECAUSE WE LOVE THE ATHLETES!
