Steamtown Suggests You Steam On Down

Dear New York Running Clubs,
On behalf of The Steamtown Marathon, its 14 communities and its 2,600 volunteers, I am pleased to invite you to run in this year's race. Our 26.2-mile, point-to-point, USATF-certified marathon will be held on Sunday, October 13 in Scranton, PA.

Steamtown has been ranked as one of the nation's 10 fastest marathon courses by Runner's World. We feature a 955' drop in elevation from start to finish and have about 4 miles of beautiful Rails to Trails on our course. We are an excellent qualifier for the Boston Marathon.

Please visit our web site at www.steamtownmarathon.com and click on "Testimonials" to see what other runners have said about Steamtown. You can register there or we'll be glad to mail you applications if you'd prefer. Just email us your address and the quantity you require.

Thank you for your time and good luck with your running. As a point of reference, Scranton is about a two hour ride from the Lincoln Tunnel and about 2 1/2 hours from Syracuse.

Sincerely, Jim Cummings, Asst. Race Director
Steamtown Marathon
