The 2022 Shawnee Marathon and Half-Marathon will be returning on October 2. 2022.  This is a few weeks sooner than the Marathon typically lands on. This was done so that the race would fall in conjunction with the City of Harrisburg Sasquatch Festival. This allows the City to close all of the necessary streets on one weekend as opposed to two weekends in the same month. It also provides a festival-style atmosphere for our finishers.
