What Makes This Marathon Special?
The POW Marathon is so much more than a race. The whole community gets involved to support the event. Andrea will be speaking at three area schools as well as the pre-race pasta dinner on Friday night. After the race, there is an opportunity for a “dash & splash” at the community pool, which includes use of the pool, jacuzzi, sauna, and changing facilities. An adults-only dance party will take place at the Hill Bar on Saturday evening. There are marathon, half marathon, 4-person and 8-person relay options.
