Pine Barrens Marathon & Half Marathon

So a bunch of regulars say they want this race to go on, so I will make it happen. My initial layout is a limit to 50 in the Marathon starting at 8a.m. Half Marathon will start at increments of 15 minutes there after in groups of 50. Sign up will be limited as such. Waiting for the approvals.

All registrations are open for the Jayasports Trail Series 2020/2021 at elitefeats.com Can't wait to get it rolling...

I just want to thank you all. We had nearly twice the participants than last year. Everyone seemed to be pleasured, ever if you got inexplicably lost you two. The freaking gang of 7 long diistance brothers..xo Love you...

Well shit yes we love you, just asking for the same. Thanks for a beautiful day. David & Jen.

Our lovely friend since and forever...the great and true athlete M.E.

These 3 are kind of unsure about where their life is headed. Cheryl they are lost, we are lost without you!

Our third overall finisher in the Marathon was Tim Henderson.

Our second overall finisher in the Marathon was Oleg Eyser.

Our first overall male winner in the Marathon was Michael Fernandez.

Our third overall female runner in the Half Marathon Jill Skelly.

Our second overall female runner in the Half Marathon Tara Daub.

Our first relay division team in the Half Marathon Joe Rizzo and Tom Golding.

Our first female overall finisher in the Half Marathon Gillian Goodwin 1:49. Awesome.

Our 123 male overall finishers in the Half Marathon Doug Milano, Shayne Lewis and Gabe Zeccolla.

This guy Doug Milano epitomizes why I put these races on. He calls me at 8:15 a.m. before a 9:00 a.m. race saying he's trying to get out of the house before his family realizes. Then runs a1:39 half marathon on a tough course in the woods nonchalantly. What a true athlete should be. Our first place male. He's also our 2019 trail series overall winner.

All set. Will have the heaters blasting in the a.m. Bring warm clothes, plenty of room for storage.

Don't forget we are promoting maggiesmissio.org in our race. Find the entry to maggiesmile race in your race bags and sign up! #maggiesmission
