Course & Travel Notes

The Forever Friends Memorial Run takes place at 525 feet elevation in Myerstown, Pennsylvania, a relatively modest altitude that shouldn't require significant pacing adjustments for most runners. With sunrise at 6:51 AM and a 1:00 PM start time, you'll have plenty of daylight for the race. September weather in this area typically features highs around 76°F and lows near 55°F, with about a one-in-three chance of measurable rain, so pack layers and rain gear just in case. Lancaster Airport (LNS) is conveniently located just 15.5 miles from the venue if you're flying in.
