Welcome to the 10th Annual InFirst Bank Veteran's Marathon, Half-Marathon and Relay!  This may be a "small-town" race, but the race support is top-notch!

Check out the race website at www.veterans-marathon.com for more information!

With your race participation and the support of our sponsors we hope to meet the needs of veterans in Western Pennsylvania Over the past eight years, InFirst Bank has served as the title sponsor for the race-- we thank them for their commitment to the race and to our veterans.  We also thank the many local businesses who have supported the race as "Mile Sponsors" or donated products to the race. This race could also not happen without the support of the Indiana Road Runners Club-- thank you to the club officers and members for their support.

Runners will be running an out and back course from Saylor Park to Dilltown on the beautiful Ghost Town Trail.  The grade for the trail is about 2% on the way out-- which means a "downhill finish!"  There are mile markers every mile.  There are aid stations every 2-4 miles.  The Marathon and Marathon Relay have 9 aid stations.  The Half Marathon has 5 aid stations.  There are Porta-Johns or facilities at each aid station.  

Racers should be prepared for any manner of weather in November in Pennsylvania-- anything from 50 degrees, to cold rain to snow!  The trail holds up well regardless of the weather conditions.

All finishers receive an awesome finisher's medal!
