The Shimmy in Shickshinny 1/2 and 1/4 Marathon (formerly the Warrior Trail)

The Warrior Trail 1/2 and 1/4 Marathon is NOW the Shimmy in Shickshinny 1/2 and 1/4 Marathon! (It's still the same incredible race but we changed the name because it doesn't take a warrior to run it)

This flat, fast, and shaded course is PERFECT for a mid-summer half-marathon!
The Shimmy in Shickshinny follows the hard-packed Susquehanna Warrior Trail as it runs along the west bank of the Susquehanna River in Luzerne County, PA. The out-and-back route has a total elevation gain/loss of 11 feet and 90% of the trail is shaded.
