The Havens Marathon is a fun, unique marathon along the susquehannock trail system (STS) in Pennsylvania. This marathon is named in honor of the late Clarence Havens, long time caretaker of camp, and follows the trail formerly used for camp’s LIT hike.

You may run the full marathon (26.2), a half marathon, or relay in thirds/quarters. Whatever your choice, you’ll be sure to enjoy this scenic and uniquely challenging marathon to support Camp Hickory Hill. Please note that besides a couple of water-stations, this marathon is entirely self-supported. You are responsible for transportation to/from your start/finish line.
