The Mainly Marathons Independence Series Pennsylvania course at the Daniel Boone Homestead will feature a mixture of pavement and gravel with some shade. Tentative Course Laps: 12 laps for Marathon.
Due to the unique multi-loop course setup, there is one giant “aid station,” with more food and drink than you could ever need! Ask anyone who’s run at least one of our races; we’ve got everything from fruit to jelly beans to sandwiches, water to Gatorade to hot coffee, and everything in between. Way more than just granola bars and bananas – we even have our very own mobile kitchen, Loony Lunchbox!
Every participant (full or half marathon) will receive one t-shirt and other fun goodies. All finishers will receive a separate medal for each day; in addition, we give a special medal to those who complete all races in a series. We even give a special award to each person participating in his or her first full or half marathon! The best part: The famous caboose, given to the final finisher of each marathon and half marathon!
The Daniel Boone Homestead (race site) is a historical site in Birdsboro, Pennsylvania that tells the story of Daniel Boone’s youth in Pennsylvania’s Oley Valley and illuminates the daily lives of the region’s 18th-century settlers through the eyes of the Boone, Maugridge and DeTurk families who occupied the site.

Day 3 of the Mainly Marathons Independence series was held on the grounds of the Daniel Boone Homestead Historical site. I think this run was made a lot more meaningful to me because I arrived early the day before and took a guided tour of the home where Daniel Boone was born. The house was modified and added onto significantly by two other subsequent owners, but is still the birthplace of an American frontier explorer. The course itself was mostly paved road, but there was a short segment of gravel that was maybe 0.25 miles long. This gravel segment went by a barn and a building which held a blacksmith shop. There were also sheep that roamed the grounds, and I saw a snapping turtle that crawled out onto the gravel path as well as a fawn just on the other side of a railed fence. This would be a great place for history buffs and was a nice place to run. There was a bit of a parking problem due to heavy rains the day before and on the morning of the race, but the race directors were able to work everything out.
