Jack & Jill Marathon
The Jack & Jill Downhill Marathon and Half Marathon take place in the scenic Poconos, Pennsylvania, starting from Lehigh Gorge State Park and following the D & L Trail through Jim Thorpe to Lehighton. Both races feature a USATF-certified course with an 800-foot net elevation drop, offering a consistent downhill grade of about 1%, making it a fast and popular course for runners aiming to achieve personal records or qualify for the Boston Marathon. The event is held annually in September, providing a picturesque route along the Lehigh River.
This race series is well-regarded for its challenging yet rewarding downhill terrain and beautiful natural surroundings. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
