About the race
The Enders YMCA Harrisburg Marathon, Half, and Relay takes place on Harrisburg City Island in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The event offers a Marathon (26.2 miles), Half Marathon (13.1 miles), a 4-person Marathon Relay, plus options for walkers and virtual participation. Billed as the “Mini-Boston” and a longtime staple since 1973, the race draws thousands of runners and spectators who fill the city with energy and camaraderie.
The fast, flat course winds through urban streets, forested paths, across bridges, and along Pennsylvania’s riverfront landscape. All runners receive swag—a race shirt and a finisher medal—and there’s a post-race gathering with fuel and drinks. It’s part of the Harrisburg YMCA Race Series.
