The Shimmy in Shickshinny Marathon

The Shimmy in Shickshinny 1/2 and 1/4 Marathon is a running event held in Shickshinny, Pennsylvania, featuring a half marathon and a quarter marathon. The race takes place on a flat, fast, and mostly shaded course along the Susquehanna Warrior Trail, a hard-packed dirt and gravel trail beside the Susquehanna River. The out-and-back route has minimal elevation change, making it ideal for a mid-summer race.

Amenities include water stations every two miles, porta-potties, and ample parking. Participants receive a race-themed T-shirt and a unique finisher's medal. Proceeds support the Susquehanna Warrior Trail, and awards are given across various age groups and categories. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
