Lackawaxen, United States of America · Saturday 3 April 2027
Lackawaxen sits in northeastern Pennsylvania, a small riverside community where the Lackawaxen River meets the Delaware River. The setting is rural and peaceful, offering runners a chance to escape into quieter terrain rather than navigate urban streets. The area has a distinctly Appalachian character, with forested surroundings and a landscape shaped by the river valleys that define this part of the state. The Two Rivers Marathon is moderately hilly, which means you won't face anything punishing but you'll earn every mile. The course runs between roughly 191 and 226 meters of elevation, so there's real climbing woven throughout rather than one brutal section followed by flat running. Expect a mix of road running through the rural landscape with the kind of rolling terrain you get in river country. The ups and downs will keep your legs honest the whole way, so it's the sort of race where steady effort and smart pacing matter more than raw speed.
