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.
  • There will be chutes to line up in socially distanced. You'll know your bib number prior to race day and there will also be a print out of your number at the start of the chute.
  • Proceed through the chute. You'll pickup your bib number on the table, safety pins, jacket and/or shirt, finisher's medal (if you registered in time) and go out the other side.

    

Race Day Check-in

Race day check-in will start at 05:45 am. It will utilize the same system as the packet pickup above.


Race Start Times

  •  Once you have your bib and warm up and do any other pre-race start items, proceed to the Start Line Area. 
  • There will be a chute there to socially distance line up in and proceed over the start mats.
  • The start line will be open for anyone to start racing at 06:30 am on Saturday and Sunday.
  •  The latest starter for the marathon is 08:15 am. The latest starter for the half marathon is 9 am.
  •  The 5k and 10k latest start time is 10 am
  • If you think you'll finish in more than 5 hours in the marathon, please start early to help our volunteers.
  • Racing both days? Please wear the same bib.

 

Elite Wave

  •  We will have marathon and half marathon starts for the Elite Wave at 8 am. There will be an invocation prior to the start.. The plan is to start the Women's Elites first, then two minutes later, the men. Depending on the size of the groups, we would have separate starts for the marathon and half marathon.
  •  As of now, we have about 25 athletes who have requested the Elite Wave. I didn't request a specific expected finish time, but some athletes provided it. These are general numbers and unaudited by an accountant, but expected finish times for both women and men range from mid to high 2:40's to low 3:10s for the marathon, and 1:10 to 1:30 for the half marathon. 
  •  If you'd like to be in the Elite Wave, please contact me. 

   

 Splits

  • Marathon: 6.55 miles, 13.1 and 19.67 (the turnaround at the second loop) as well as your finish time


Predicted Time Partner

If you'd like to socially distance pace/run with another athlete, please email me and I'll set up a group of runners who may like to find others who will run the same pace.


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. 
  • We'll have 8 oz bottles of water at the aid stations. 
  •  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. 
  • 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.

AwardS, etc.

READY, SET, RACE

Post Race Food and Hydration

  • There will be water available at the finish area.
  • Food is TBD 


Boston Qualifier Shirt

  •  If you BQ, you will get an "I qualified for the Boston Marathon at the Two Rivers Marathon Race Festival, Lackawaxen PA." I'll do my best to have your size shirt avialable for you.
  • There is a bell that anyone can ring at the finish line. It can be rung if you BQ'd, ran a personal best, completed your first race, completed your 100th race...you understand, you can ring the bell simply to express JOY or for any reason you'd like!


I Did The Double Shirt

  •  If you race both days and at least one of your events is a half marathon or marathon, you'll receive an "I Did the Double at the Two Rivers Race Festival Lackawaxen PA" shirt after you finish on Sunday.


Awards

  • For the 5k and 10k, you can pick up awards at 10 am.
  • For the half marathon, you can pick up awards at 10 am.
  • For the marathon, you can pickup awards at 10:30 am.
  • Of course, I understand that there will be fast finishers well before then. Just see me and we'll jointly determine if your finishing time will keep you in the top three in your age group. I ordered a ton of awards, so I'm going to go with giving out the award early if your time looks good, rather than mailing awards.


Overall Awards

  • All events have first place overall female and male awards.
  • Age groups (marathon and half marathon) 19-under, 20-24, 5 year age groups up to 80+
  • 5k and 10k first place in age group19-under, 20-24, 5 year age groups up to 80+  


Race Photographs

We'll have a race photographer both days. We will send out the photograph link prior to the race. Our goal is to get everyone's finish line photo! These photo can be downloaded by you at no cost.
