race specifics

April 24 and 25, 2021 

D&H Rail Trail in Forest City, PA 18421


Here's the map my run course. (It shows one loop for the half marathon).

  • Course elevation on map my run link. 
  • 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 will be on a certified course. The course is currently being measured. I guarantee it will be a certified marathon and half marathon course. The marathon will be a Boston Qualifier.

SPECIAL OFFER

  • Special offer! Any  athlete that races in any two events will receive a race jacket,  embroidered with the event logo. These are high quality jackets. 
  • If you register by March 21, even for one event, you'll get a jacket instead of a race t-shirt.
  • We have 4 races each day:  marathon, half  marathon, 10k and 5k. We run these races on both Saturday and Sunday.
  • This permits us to offer two finishers medals. Finisher's Medal will be interlocking with the second day medal. 

AID STATIONS AND MORE

  • Three aid stations on the course,  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 at the race start area and at each aid station.
  • We will have post race food. It will be packaged. At this time, we won't have any food truck or buffet.

RACE STARTS

  • We'll have an open start line for the marathon and half marathon.  You can start anytime between 07:45 and 09:00 AM. If you'd like to start before 07:45 AM, just let me know and I'll get you off and running!
  • The marathon will have a 6-hour time limit. Please start earlier if you think you may exceed the 2:30 PM course closure. 
  • We'll have the finish arch up for you and have your finisher's medal ready for you! 
  • If you post a Boston Qualifying time in the marathon, you'll receive an additional t-shirt, "I Qualified for Boston at the Endless Mountains Marathon".

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 are totally committed to you, the athlete, having a memorable experience on race day. We do it BECAUSE WE LOVE THE ATHLETES!
