For the 2nd year in a row, I used this Marathon as a long training run, as I live relatively close. It’s billed as a last chance BQ course and this is definitely true. It is pancake flat with a forgiving crushed stone surface that runs along an old Canal Tow Path along the Delaware River. Scenic, but repetitive as it is a double out n back.
Fast, Flat, Scenic, but repetitive.

I was very impressed with Race Director Pat’s emphasis on safety and social distancing during this event in 2020. It was delayed from Sep 13 to Oct 31. Very obvious a lot of effort was put into having hands-free water distribution and having Bib numbers ordered by expected finish times. Anyway, the race itself is very flat and very fast. Very scenic running along the Delaware river on one side and the Canal on the other. Only bummer is that it’s a double out n back, so it is a little repetitive.
