    Start: 11:00 a.m. SHARP on the day of the parade. The race will immediately start at 11 am so that all runners will have time to pass the turn-around point quick enough so that the race does not hold up the parade.

    Race: This race is the first event of the season and is the oldest road race in the Scranton Area.

    Course: This is a 2 mile course. The course is relatively flat with some gently rolling hills. The course will be run entirely on the parade route (see parade route map). It will be an out and back course. Notice: please stay to the right at all times so you don't interfere with the other runners. The course route is subject to review and approval of the Race Director. Should changes be made, they will be announced prior to the start

    Registration: Registration on the day of the race will be from 9am to 10:30am at the Lackawanna College Student Union. Registration will end promptly so that runners can have time to get to the starting line (corner of Vine and N Washington). Runners who pre-registered will pick up their race numbers and t-shirts here as well. T-shirts are provided by our sponsors and will be given to the first 100 registered runners.

    Finish: The award ceremony will be held at the Lackawanna College Student Union as soon as the race is completed. This is expected to be no later than 12:00pm, so that you can enjoy the parade.

    Awards: Trophies will be awarded to the first & second place male & female runners overall. Medals will be awarded to the top 2 male & female runners in the following age categories: 12 and under, 13-17, 18-22, 23-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65 & over.

    Entry Fees: Pre-registered runners = $12.00 by March 12 and Race Day Registration = $15.00.

    The 13th edition of the Scranton Half Marathon will take place on Sunday, April 12, 2026, beginning and ending at PenFed Credit Union Field at Memorial Stadium. The goal of the race is to provide a superior event highlighting the local area and in doing so, bring increased exposure and revenue for local businesses.

    Please note the start times for the half marathon run (8:00 AM) and the half marathon walk (6:45 AM).

    ***BACK FOR 2026 - Run/Walk Category

    We're pleased to offer a new run/walk category for the half marathon. Please select this option when registering if you plan on doing a combination of both running and walking on the course. As a run/walker, you will start at 8 AM with the run and will be timed as a runner. If you will be only walking the course, please select the Half Marathon Walk tab when registering.

    ***Half Marathon Cutoff Time – In the interest of safety and to allow city streets to reopen as scheduled, the racecourse will remain open to all participants who reach the North Washington Ave. and Olive Street intersection (roughly 8.3 miles) by 10:30 AM. This would be an 18:00 minute per mile pace for runners and a 28:00 minute per mile pace for walkers. Those participants who are unable to meet the 10:30 AM cutoff time will be directed to turn right onto Olive Street to head back to the stadium and will not be able to complete the full 13.1-mile course and their finish time will not be recorded.

    **5k Run Cutoff time - In the interest of safety and to allow city streets to reopen as scheduled, there will be a 50 minute cutoff time for all participants in the 5k. This would be a 16 minute per mile pace. If you are unable to finish the race in this timeframe, your time will not be recorded.
