Scranton Half Marathon

The 11th edition of the Scranton Half Marathon, scheduled for Sunday, April 7, 2024, promises a superior event that showcases the local area while contributing to increased exposure and revenue for local businesses. Beginning and concluding at PenFed Credit Union Field at Memorial Stadium, the race offers diverse options, including the half marathon run and walk, along with engaging features like the Elm Street Cutoff time and the Kid’s Fun Run.

Participants in the half marathon walk, commencing at 6:45 AM, will experience a fully chip-timed event, with finishers receiving a Half Marathon Medal and Finisher’s Gift. The Elm Street Cutoff time, set at 10:15 AM, ensures course safety and allows city streets to reopen as scheduled. Virtual Half Marathon options, both run and walk, offer flexibility between April 4 and April 7, with participants submitting their times for virtual results.

The Scranton Half Marathon is not just a race; it’s a community event with charitable goals. The race expo at Scranton Running Company, the bib/shirt pickup, and the Kid’s Fun Run add vibrant elements to the race weekend. With a commitment to safety, course restrictions, and charitable giving to the Lackawanna Heritage Valley Authority, the Scranton Half Marathon continues to be a significant contributor, having donated over $450,000 in its first ten years. Join us on April 7 for a race that transcends running, fostering community spirit and supporting a worthy cause.
