You will be running on a mostly shaded & paved bike trail alongside the Pennypack Creek. You will be supported by 15 aid stations ( 7 for the half), including Oktoberfest Aid station. Heidi, the Bavarian waitress will hand out gels, and we will invite you (yes, first beer is on us) to beer and brats at the post race festivities, while Hans will entertain you with his accordion. Find out who else is crazy enough to run a race like this in the summer.

One of my favorite marathons! Best food ever!!

Hard to believe this scenic course is in a city

Organizers are witty, course is challenging.

Will remind you of running the Black Forest
