    Q: Is there a cutoff time for the half?

    A: Yes! Due to the heat, we ask runners to finish in 3:00. There is a hard cutoff of 3:15. Those who may run longer than 3:00 are encouraged to run the quarter marathon.

    Q: What is the course surface like?

    A: The out-and-back course on The Susquehanna Warrior Trail is flat hard-packed dirt and gravel. 90% is shaded.

    Q: Are dogs allowed on the course?

    A: Yes, dogs are allowed on the course. However, due to safety and insurance reasons, we discourage participants from running with their dogs. The race is on a public trail that allows dogs, so we do not ban dogs from the race. We ask that if you choose to run with your dog, you only do so if your dog has extensive experience running in groups and with strangers. According to PA state law, all dogs, whether running or spectating or just meandering through on a Saturday walk, MUST be leashed while on public property.

    Q: Are strollers allowed on the course?

    A: No. The trail is not well-suited for strollers.

    Q: Can I see a map of the half course?

    A: Yes! (And the quarter marathon is the first half the half). FOLLOW THIS LINK HERE.
