About the God's Country Marathon
More than five decades of history anchor this rural Pennsylvania marathon. The full starts in Galeton, crosses Denton Hill and finishes at Coudersport's courthouse square, apart from its relay and half.
Course
A point-to-point road route is built around the long ascent and descent of Denton Hill. The climb rewards restraint before the summit, while downhill control matters on the way into Coudersport.
Race-day weather
Early June in north-central Pennsylvania can be cool at dawn and warm or humid later, with rain also possible. Conditions on exposed Denton Hill may differ from the sheltered valleys.
