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.
