Pine Barrens Marathon and Half Marathon 2018

The Pine Barrens Marathon & Half Marathon are trail races in the NYSDEC David A. Sarnoff Preserve property deep in the Long Island Pine Barrens. A beautiful 2 loop venue for the half and 4 loop venue for the full marathon. There is a two person relay division for the Half Marathon as well.
