Organiser's Description
The Warrior Trail 1/2 and 1/4 Marathon is NOW the Shimmy in Shickshinny 1/2 and 1/4 Marathon!
(It's still the same incredible race but we changed the name because it doesn't take a warrior to run it)
This flat, fast, and shaded course is PERFECT for a mid-summer half-marathon!The Shimmy in Shickshinny follows the hard-packed Susquehanna Warrior Trail as it runs along the west bank of the Susquehanna River in Luzerne County, PA. The out-and-back route has a total elevation gain/loss of 11 feet and 90% of the trail is shaded.
WhenSaturday August 10th. Both races begin at 8:00 am.

Q: What is the course surface like? A: The out-and-back course on The Susquehanna Warrior Trail is flat hard-packed dirt and gravel. 90% is shaded.
Q: Are dogs allowed on the course? A: Yes, dogs are allowed on the course. However, due to safety and insurance reasons, we discourage participants from running with their dogs. The race is on a public trail that allows dogs, so we do not ban dogs from the race. We ask that if you choose to run with your dog, you only do so if your dog has extensive experience running in groups and with strangers. According to PA state law, all dogs, whether running or spectating or just meandering through on a Saturday walk, MUST be leashed while on public property. Q: Are strollers allowed on the course? A: No. The trail is not well-suited for strollers.
