Friday Packet Pickup

Packet pickup will be from 3-5 pm on Friday at the Lackawaxen Park, 107 Scenic Drive in Lackawaxen.

  • There is very limited cell service, so please plan your route as you probably won't be able to call me if you get diverted. I've found Verizon has the best service, but there is plenty of no cell service area in the park and around the township even with Verizon.
  • Please park at the parking lot next to Zane Grey Museum about 200 yards past the Park across from the Delaware River Boat Launch area.

Aid Stations and Hydration

Here's a very important area.

  • There are aid stations every two miles. It looks like the stations will be at miles 1.55, 4 and 5.5, which means you'll also see them at  7.5,  9 and 11.5. It'll be the same for loop 2 for the marathon. 
  •  Athletes are encouraged to set their special needs fluids/gels/nutrition out  at the aid stations. We will have 24 feet of tables (3 8' tables) just for this at each aid station. You can set it out prior to parking on race morning.  Please mark your items with a magic marker.
  • We will have volunteers at each aid station. Their function is to make sure the first table has water available for you to take. They will also do area cleanup. 
  • We'll have 8 oz bottles of water at the aid stations. The 8 oz water bottles will have screw off caps. Please drop them in the garbage can just past the aid station. 
  • There will also be garbage cans a quarter mile past the aid station where you can drop your water bottle. 
  • Lackawaxen EMS will be on-site at the start/finish area on Saturday and Sunday, pending the need for their emergency services in the township.


Lost and Found/Bag Drop

You'll be parking very close to the start/finish area. We'll have a place where you can leave a bag near the finish area.


Portapotties

  • There will be four portapotties in the start/finish area, as well as a hand sanitizer station. The park pavilion also has plumbing facilities.
  •  Each aid station will have a portapotty as well, so three portapotties on the course.
