Key points:
-The weather in northeastern PA can generally decent for marathon running in late March (it can be cold and windy, but it's generally never too warm).
-This is a two day event (Saturday/Sunday) and the race is liberal with allowing you to switch race days (no added fees, etc.). If something comes up or the weather looks iffy, you can switch race days with ease.
-It's low key. Getting to the race and parking is a breeze.
-Beware of traffic during the race. Some drivers are less courteous towards runners than others. The vast majority of drivers were very respectful, but don't get too comfortable thinking every driver will give you a wide berth during the race.
Race Tips
-It's a two loop out-and-back course. There's a slight incline/elevation gain on the way out and slight decline on the way back (pace accordingly!!!).
-Portions of the road have a noticeable camber. It may be helpful to train/race with this in mind.
