New Date: October 2023
The DCNR informed us on Friday September 30, 2022 that due to a change in policy that no permit would be issued for the 2022 Bucks County Marathon Weekend.
Thanks for your patience and understanding in this whole mess. This completely blindsided us.
Race shirts, finisher medals, string bags, bibs and other swag are already in production so that we would get them in time for the race. We'd appreciate it if you stuck with us until next year but understand if you cannot.
Here's what we could work out.
We have a few race date options for 2023 right now. Our current thought is for Saturday October 28, 2023. That date keeps us from interfering with any Chicago, Marine Corps, Atlantic City, New York City, Bridge Run or Philadelphia Marathon or other existing events we play a part in’s plans.
It’s my hope that some of you will opt to stay with us until next year and help us go out on a high note!
OPTIONS:
DEFER TO OUR 2023 BUCKS COUNTY MARATHON which will in fact be the absolute last marathon run on that double out-and-back course. Still themed as the LAST DANCE
runBUCKS CREDIT for use on other in-house events or merchandise.
TRANSFER TO THE PHILADELPHIA MARATHON RACE WEEKEND: This would give you the same distance race options a week later in the same region of the country.. You would need to request to opt in and a code would be created for you.
REQUEST A REFUND: A credit card charge back will cost us additional fees as would administering a refund through RunSignUp. We’d also request a few weeks to get this together and issue those who want the refund option a check.
FOR EACH REGISTRANT YOU NEED TO OPT IN.
THE DECISION PROCESS HAS REACHED IT'S DEADLINE. PHILADELHIA MARATHON WILL BE INFORMED TODAY, TUESDAY OCTOBER 11, 2022, AS TO THOSE WHO HAVE ASKED TO BE TRANSFERED TO THE PHILADELPHIA MARATHON WEEKEND. PLEASE GIVE US (BOTH EVENTS A FEW DAYS TO GET YOU FURTHER INFORMATION AND CODES TO ENTER THEIR RACE

In an email I received at 9:23am this morning I was informed that due to a change in policy
the DCNR will no longer grant special event permits on holiday weekends.
This will include the 12th Annual Bucks County Marathon Weekend, which is also Veterans Day weekend.
We felt it was most important to inform you of the cancellation as quickly as possible to cancel and alter travel, training and race plans.
We are working on options as quickly as we can and will let you know as soon as we possibly can.
Thanks for your patience and understanding in this situation.

CrackedBell SUBLIMATED LONG SLEEVE RACE SHIRTS to participants registered by September 17, 2022
WE DON'T OFFER DISCOUNT CODES. We like to offer everyone the lowest prices we can. The earlier you register the more you save. Let's face it those other races are artificially inflating their fees so they can track where you found out about their event, and that data is often flawed.
The course is 8 feet wide, and that is out-and-back, and the park is open to the public. Especially for this reason please don't ask if you can run with your very well behaved dog, cat, or ferret. You may be joined by Canada geese, whitetail deer, turtles, foxes and more. It is especially cool when the heron shows up.
There are no refunds or transfers. SEE POLICIES page at runBUCKS.com for complete deferral information
