Race Information

The Gettysburg Festival of Races is the combination of three historic races in one single weekend!

Come and race just outside the hallowed grounds of the Gettysburg battlefield. The course winds through beautiful wooded back country roads, past fields and farms, and crossed the historic Mason-Dixon line into Maryland and back. Choose to compete in Gettysburg North-South Marathon, Gettysburg Blue-Gray Half Marathon, or 5K. The race also features the popular health and fitness expo the day before the race.
