The Gettysburg North-South Marathon is a Boston-certified course that begins and ends at the Eisenhower Conference Center.

It crosses the historic Mason-Dixon Line before reaching a turnaround point in Maryland.

This is a two-loop course, with the first 13.1 miles shared with the Gettysburg Blue-Gray Half Marathon. Race is professionally timed by 2L Race Services.
