Steamtown Marathon štartuje pri Forest City High School vo Forest City, Pennsylvania a končí na Courthouse Square v centre Scranton. Tento jesenný cestný maratón je certifikovaný USATF a je oficiálny kvalifikačný pretek na Boston Marathon. Popri hlavnom preteku sa ide aj maratón pre vozíčkarov a handcyklistov. Účastníci by si mali byť istí, že to dajú do šiestich hodín; pretek neponúka odklady štartu. Trať klesá o 955 stôp od štartu do cieľa, čo dáva Steamtownu rýchly profil a pritom stále ponúka plnú výzvu 26.2 míľ. Vedie cez 14 obcí a má aj pár väčšinou asfaltových míľ na Rails to Trails ceste popri Lackawanna River predtým, než dorazíš do Scranton. Pretek podporuje Saint Joseph's Center v Scranton. Vďaka podpore bežcov a sponzorov sa pre centrum vyzbieralo už cez 2.6 milióna dolárov od roku 1996.
