InFirst Bank Veteran’s Marathon (PA) Blairsville, PA   Nov 3, 2024

The Indiana First Bank Veteran’s Marathon races will be held on the beautiful Ghost Town Trail, starting and finishing at Saylor Park in Black Lick, Pennsylvania. Come and run a fast, relatively flat out-and-back course that features the best of Pennsylvania’s fall scenery, awesome aid stations, and other great amenities.

At the same time, you will be helping to support area veterans – all race proceeds go to the Western Pennsylvania Veteran’s Relief Fund, a 501C3 that provides financial assistance to veterans in need. More than $120,000 has been raised for area veterans.  We appreciate the support of all of our runners and sponsors who have helped to make the raise and our mission a success.
