Runners follow a point-to-point course for both the full and the half marathons at the Two Rivers Marathon Race Festival, which starts at the Woodloch Pines Resort in nearby Hawley, Pa., and finishes at Rosencrance Park in downtown Lackawaxen. Much of the route takes runners along the Lackawaxen River, and the race start is the highest point on the course, which features about 600 feet of elevation loss between the start and the finish line.
