Wicked Fast Marathon - Poconos
Race Day Weather
Comfortable temps, warming through the race, rain likely
Starting at 64°F, heat will be a factor from the gun — go out conservative and stay on top of hydration. Temperatures rising to 77°F through the course will gradually increase perceived effort in the second half. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing. Rain is likely — waterproof your phone and bib, and consider a disposable poncho for the corral. High humidity (88%) will make it harder to cool down through sweat — increase fluid intake accordingly.

Race Info
The Wicked Fast Marathon and Half Marathon - Poconos runs point-to-point along the D&L Trail in Pennsylvania's Lehigh Gorge, following the Lehigh River from a trailhead inside Lehigh Gorge State Park down to a finish at the Lehighton Outdoor Center. The hard-packed rail-trail surface carries a net downhill grade over the full distance, and the course is marketed as a Boston-qualifying route with no time penalty. The race started in 2024 as the Jack & Jill Marathon Poconos and was renamed Wicked Fast for its 2025 edition.
