About
The Hellbender Half Marathon takes place in Bear Gap, Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, on August 22, 2027, on a course through nature and forest. Two formats are on offer: the half marathon (13.1 miles / 21.1 km) and a 5K (3.1 miles).
Both races are held on the same day, so runners can choose between a short 5K and the full half-marathon distance in the same woodland setting.
