Race, Rock & Rise

A 40-year tradition, the BOTTLE WORKS is reviving the Johnstown Marathon.

A new route that traverses the city and its surrounding communities will also showcase
scenic local trails.

Watch the route video. Rob Dorchak filmed and edited the video. He is a member of the Laurel Highlands On & Off Road Bicycling Association.
