God’s Country Marathon is Pennsylvania’s third longest standing marathon and was listed as one of the “Best Small Marathons” and “10 Toughest Marathons” in the USA by Runner’s World Magazine. Competitor Magazine listed the God’s Country Half Marathon as one of “America’s 25 Greatest Half Marathons.”
Breathtaking scenery in an untouched part of Pennsylvania makes the God’s Country Marathon a unique event. Our course is measured and marked by Run High of Grove City, PA and is a certified race and sanctioned event, as well as a qualifying race for the Boston Marathon.
Held annually the First Saturday of June.
