Mark your calendar for a spectacular farewell to the Bucks County Marathon on October 28, 2023, as we celebrate The Last Dance of this iconic event, set against the picturesque backdrop of Washington Crossing Historic Park. Both the Bucks County Marathon and the Delaware Canal Half Marathon, which share the course, bid adieu with a double out-and-back run.

Starting at 8:45 AM, both races, boasting USATF certification, traverse the scenic towpath along the Delaware Canal State Park. The 2023 Bucks County Marathon is your chance to qualify for the 2025 BAA Boston Marathon. Be part of the historic farewell with a time limit of 3 hours 15 minutes for the half marathon and 6 hours 30 minutes for the full marathon. Participants will receive a CrackedBell commemorative long sleeve tech shirt and other exclusive swag. Enjoy advanced packet pick-up options on Friday evening and race morning. Limited free parking is available within a short distance in Washington Crossing Historic Park. The Bucks County Marathon embraces a car-friendly environment with accessibility to Hamilton, Trenton, Yardley train stations, Trenton Mercer Airport, and the I-95, I-295, Pennsylvania Turnpike corridor. The course, a narrow ribbon between the Delaware Canal and the Delaware River, offers encounters with nature, including Canada geese, whitetail deer, turtles, foxes, and the occasional heron. As we elevate the fun for The Last Dance, anticipate a dance party theme, disco ball finisher medals, and a festive start-finish area. Since it’s Halloween weekend, costumes are welcomed—consider spending the weekend immersed in the vibrant spirit of Bucks County. Despite potential adjustments due to public health concerns, our commitment to a memorable farewell remains. Note that non-compliance with health restrictions may lead to disqualification without refund. Enjoy our water station contest—volunteers, theme out your hydration station, and join the excitement! Save with early registrations—no artificial price inflation, just genuine savings. Our race partner hotel for 2023 is Hampton Inn in Newtown, PA. Secure your spot for The Last Dance and make it a weekend to remember in Bucks County.
