The Park and Recreation authorities of the DL Trail have moved our event to September 13, 2025. There was an oversight in scheduling and unfortunately, we were booked during a blackout period that prohibits events with more than 200 participants from Memorial Day to Labor Day. After careful deliberation and discussions about the original date in June, we must adhere to the new rules and have decided (instead of cancelling the race) to move the race to September 13 as the new date. The 2nd weekend in September will be the permanent race weekend for all future Poconos races.

On a positive note, keeping the new race date could be a benefit you, especially if you are trying to qualify for the Boston Marathon. The second week in September is unique because your qualifying time will be valid for two years. When you qualify in the 2nd week in September, you can use that time to register for Boston in 2026 and next year for 2027.
