The Two Rivers Marathon Race Festival is an annual race held in picturesque Lackawaxen PA.
Race day registration is available (I’ve been getting calls about this, since it didn’t say anywhere on the website that you could register on race day). No pricing increase from online.
I anticipate that we will run out of sweatshirts and finisher medals. I have let me suppliers know this and we will get these items to all athletes. Race entry has exploded in the last 10 days. Of course, this was right after I had to place my orders!
The 2013 race will be held on March 30, with a 9am start for the marathon and half marathon, and a 10am start for the 5k and 10k races. The race is a qualifier for the Boston Marathon. The course is certified (certificate PA12012WB).
A new sponsor has been added to the event: AdvoCare Products

The half marathon follows the marathon course. At Masthope Plank Road and Rte 590, mile 11.75, the half marathoners will turn right, as will the marathoners. The half marathoners will go out Rte 590 for about .75 miles, then turnaround and head back to the finish area.

The race features excellent apparel, finisher’s medal for the marathon and half marathon, a commemorative glass and unique race awards.
A picture of the hooded sweatshirt you will receive is in the link below. You also have the option of the embroidered jacket from last year, if you’d like. Just email me if you would prefer the jacket. It’s available in red or blue, with Two Rivers Marathon embroidered on the left chest.
There is no time limit to complete the marathon. 8 hours and up is fine.
