The Experience
The Two Rivers Marathon Race Festival in Lackawaxen, PA, invites runners to a scenic journey through forests and alongside rivers. This event, first held in 2012 and now in its 12th edition, offers a variety of distances, including a half marathon.
The course is noted for its natural beauty, winding past rivers and bridges. With an elevation gain and loss of approximately 0 feet, the half marathon is designed to be a flat and fast race, potentially appealing to those seeking personal bests.
