UNITED STATES OF AMERICA NORTH CAROLINA — 2025-03-01 — Ellerbe. "Ellerbe Marathon and Half Marathon". The Ellerbe Marathon first ran in 1992. Its origin dates to the fall of 1991 as Mark Long and Doug Dawkins were returning from the Greensboro Marathon. At that time there were but a few marathons in North Carolina. By the time the pair had reached Richmond County on Highway 220 they had mostly agreed on the idea of working together to create a local marathon. That first race was held April 12, 1992 with 41 entrants and 39 finishers. There was no online entry. No website. All those interested had to request a paper entry form be mailed to them and return it with a check to enter. Aid stations had no food, just water and Gatorade. Runners had to finish the race to get a t-shirt. There were no medals. All “Old School.” There was a period in the 1990s when The Ellerbe Marathon and The Grandfather Mountain Marathon were the only two marathons in North Carolina. The Ellerbe Marathon has survived many challenges and changes since that first year. We have survived changes in hosts, locations, and race directors. We survived Covid. But the Ellerbe Marathon has not missed a year since that first event in 1992, and we are now the oldest continuously held marathon in North Carolina. We followed the trend and now present t-shirts before the race. We have nice pottery wine cups for all who finish. And we have a nice custom medal. We have snacks at the aid stations and a post-race meal just like all the others. We have no sponsors we have to oblige. The only ones we have to please are our runners. We still have that “Old School” feel and hope to keep it. We don't have hundreds of entrants. But we have a good crowd every year, and we all have fun. www.theboogieraces.com/ellerbe.html

Boston Qualifying Full Marathon (two start corrals: 7:15am and 8am): (Sun. 4/27) The full marathon is an absolute dream for runners and spectators alike, a point-to-point Boston Qualifier with a slight, steady 0.5% to 1% downgrade nearly the entire way. 7:15am runners can get dropped off or park near the start and take a free shuttle bus back to their cars after the race. 8am runners can take the scenic train from Jim Thorpe to White Haven (train leaves at 6:30am). Runners who sign up for the 7:15am start may begin the race any time between 7:15 and 8:00am. Parking shuttles will run from the park-and-ride to the starting line until 7:45am. We allow this because the train ride to the 8:00am start tends to sell out by early January. 7-Miler With Scenic Train Rides to the Start (Sun. 4/28): (train leaves at 6:30am) The final 7 miles of our gorgeous marathon course! All 7-Mile runners must take the train that leaves Jim Thorpe Station at 6:30am. 7-Mile runners will have the option to start early (when the train first stops on the way to the marathon start) or later (after training to the marathon start and back again).

Course Fuel We are pleased to announce that UCAN will be our exclusive sponsor for on-course hydration and fuel. For the half marathon, we will have water and UCAN hydrate roughly every 2 miles on course. For the full marathon, we will have stations at miles 2, 4, 6.5, 9, 11.75, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, and 24. Every station will have a first aid kit for basic needs and water. UCAN hydrate will be provided at every other station starting at mile 4. UCAN energy gel will be provided at miles 6.5 and 16. For 7-Mile Runners: Same as the last 3 stations for the marathon. Remote Course! Cell phones will not work on the trail. For the marathon, bikers will be monitoring miles 12-26. Flag them down if you have an issue and need to be picked up. They will alert our ATV team or the closest stationed EMS team. Marathon Bag Drop For Train Riders When you exit the train, place a small bag marked with your name in the front row of the train car. It will be taken back to the finish area. We ask that you shed any clothing when you run past the starting line again at mile 2. Those items will be collected and brought back to the finish area as well. These drops are a courtesy for our runners and we cannot guarantee the safety of any items. We strongly advise against leaving anything of value in your bag. Course Elevation Maps The up-and-down elevation profiles on the MapMyRun links below are misleading. The trail is an old railroad bed, so it absolutely does not go up and down like that. It runs through a gorge and the MapMyRun lines don’t follow the trail perfectly, so it makes it look like the elevation goes up and down. It does not and is a smooth, slight, barely noticeable downhill the majority of the full marathon (and slightly up and then slightly down for the out-and-back half). Parking for both days will be in the municipal lot next to the Jim Thorpe Train Station (and finish area). To park in the train station lot next to the finish area (the most convenient place to park), runners must pre-pay for parking when they register. Free parking with a free shuttle ride will be available off-site. On Saturday the lot will open at 6:30am for the half marathon. The lot will not open until 6:30am. The starting line will open at 8am. Runners will be allowed to start at 8am. The race is chip timed, so your time will not start until you cross the starting mat. On Sunday the lot will open at 5:30am for the full marathon and 7-miler. We ask all runners to board the train by 6:30am. Portable Toilets The Lehigh Gorge Trail is a remote trail through the beautiful wilderness. Restrooms will be limited. For the half marathon, they will be located at the start/finish and at miles 2 and 11. For the marathon, they will be located at the start/finish areas and (roughly) miles 4, 12, and 24. For the 7-miler, they will be located at the finish area and mile 6. Spectating Spots For the half marathon, spectators can safely watch runners pass through the Glen Onoko parking area at Lehigh Gorge State Park in Jim Thorpe (miles 2 and 11) and at the start/finish area. For the full marathon, spectators who do not take the train can drive to the Rockport Road trailhead in Lehigh Township and watch runners pass at roughly mile 12. They can also watch runners pass through the Glen Onoko parking area at Lehigh Gorge State Park in Jim Thorpe (mile 24) and at the start/finish area. For the 7-miler, spectators can watch runners pass through the Glen Onoko parking area at Lehigh Gorge State Park in Jim Thorpe (mile 5) and at the start/finish area. Time Limits Half Marathon: 3 hours, 30 minutes (finish by 11:30am) Marathon: 6 hours, 30 minutes (if you start at 8am, finish by 2:30pm) Running Surface The Full Marathon will take you down the D&L and Lehigh Gorge rail trails. These wide, smooth trails are hard-packed earth and gravel and, because they are former railroad lines, maintain a steady downgrade of 0.5-1% nearly the entire length of the marathon. One of our RUNegades ultra runners ran the course and says trail shoes are not necessary, but runners may want to wear gaiters to prevent small pebbles from entering their shoes. Half Marathon and 7-Miler will take you through the last portion of the Full Marathon course, on the wide, smooth, hard-packed Lehigh Gorge Trail.

NORWAY SVALBARD — 2025-06-14 — Longyearbyen. "Spitsbergen Marathon". Many think of marathons as big cities, tarmac, long fences, large crowds and sweaty runners. This is a familiar variant. We are lucky to be able to create some more magic around our race. Imagine that you are running on a dirt road with no trees or vegetation around you. Your depth vision disappears, and you can see where you are going long before you get there. The landscape is different, something you haven't seen before. Flat mountains, pushed down by the last ice age. As you run, you pass residents cheering and standing with their hands outstretched to make sure you're getting enough fluids. You pass reindeers that are wild, but not frightened by you speeding past, and perhaps the most exceptional: polar bear guards with rifles on their backs and binoculars around their necks. The Spitsbergen Marathon is an race like no other, in the kingdom of polar bears. Perhaps one of the greatest experiences you will have in the world of marathons. One can expect a temperature between 0 and 10 degrees Celsius in the month of the race. It is not uncommon with wind, fog or rain. We recommend you to bring windproof running gear with long arms and legs. Hat and gloves should also be included. It is about 5 kilometers between each drinking station. Some think that is far and we would therefore recommend to bring your own drinks belt if you have a large fluid requirements. Remember good running shoes and meet us in the arctic. www.spitsbergenmarathon.no
