The Mon/Yough Trail Council’s (MYTC) 11th annual spring fundraiser – the Boston Trail 1/2 Marathon and 5K Run/Walk – is scheduled for Saturday, April 12, 2025, rain or shine. Start and finish is at the Boston Access of the Great Allegheny Passage (GAP) in Elizabeth Township. Proceeds from the event support the MYTC – an all-volunteer, nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization – and their efforts to maintain a 15-mile section of the GAP in Allegheny County. The course is a flat, crushed limestone surface that parallels the picturesque Youghiogheny River.

The 1/2 Marathon is USATF certified and led by members of the MarathonPacing.com team. Medals are awarded to the top three overall and age group finishers, men and women. An open division will award medals to the top three finishers and includes those who identify as nonbinary or prefer not to select a gender. Finisher medals are given to all participants who complete the 1/2 Marathon. Timing services are provided by Runners High, and results are posted to their website in real time.
Participants in the 1/2 Marathon receive a long-sleeved, technical fiber shirt; 5K participants receive a short-sleeved, cotton shirt. (Shirts are available while supplies last). Registrations will be accepted online only through Midnight, April 10. Visit the MYTC website for more information or to register.
