Relay runners competing in the second leg will be shuttled by bus from the start to the halfway point on Effort Neola Road. There is no parking at the halfway point. First leg Relay runners will be shuttled by bus to the finish. 5K runners can park at the Stroudsburg High School, 119 Stadium Street Stroudsburg, PA 18360, or in Downtown Stroudsburg. Travel The nearest airports, about 45 minutes away, are Allentown/Bethlehem/Easton (ABE) and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (AVP). They are regional airports and due to their small size, airfare into them is usually slightly more expensive than the larger international airports. A cab can be taken from ABE to Stroudsburg for about $70, but it is probably cheaper to rent a car. The larger airports nearest to us are Philadelphia (PHL) and Newark (EWR). We recommend renting a car from these locations, as they are about an hour and a half away. |
