Course Description

The Garden Spot Village Marathon is a challenging mostly out and back course on mainly rural roads.

The race starts by the Legacy Garden and travels east for about 2 miles. It then circles around west through the Amish farmlands at the foot of the Welsh Mountain for approximately 12 miles before looping back to campus. During this time of year the scenery is amazing, the farmers are tilling the fields with horse drawn plows and there are sure to be horse and buggies about.

The course has two major hills at mile 5 and the same hill that peaks at mile 23 on the return to the finish. After the large hill ending at mile 23, it is mostly downhill to the finish.

Even with seasonable cool temperatures, runners will earn PRs or Boston Qualifiers on this course.
