Description:

Celebrate the longest day of the year and the start of summer with a trail run through the forested hills of the Park at Governor Dick in beautiful Mt. Gretna, PA. Choose between two different courses and terrains with both a 5k (3.1 miles) and 10k (6.2 miles) option. Choose the 10k if you are interested in conquering our longest and rockiest trail in the park. Our 5k offers similar rocks and hills, but not quite as many! This is a perfect race with options for both beginner and experienced trail runners. Proceeds from this race will benefit the trails, programming and facilities of the Clarence Schock Memorial Park at Governor Dick. After the race, stick around for a solstice celebration.

COURSE: Start at Clarence Schock Memorial Park (3283 Pinch Road, Mt Gretna, PA 17064) Nature Center. The 5k and 10K courses will be different (starting approx. 10 minutes apart). We welcome walkers to participate in the 5k route, but due to time constraints (ie: darkness) we recommend prior trail running experience for the 10k.

PARKING: Parking is available at Governor Dick Park and in a satallite lot. Parking and the entrance will be well signed. Please visit our website closer to the race date for more detailed information.

REGISTRATION: Race Registration and number pick up will take place at Clarence Schock Memorial Park on race day from 3:30pm to 4:30pm.

AWARDS: 1st overall male and female in each distance will receive awards, recognition to top 3 males/females in each age group in 19 & Under, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60+. All racers will receive a participatory gift.
