14 Miles 5k 8 Miles Run Trail

The Path of the Flood Historic races commemorate the Flood of 1889 in Johnstown, PA. The runners have spoken and the event will continue annually! This year marks the 25th anniversary of the historic Staple Bend Tunnel, which runners of the 14-mile and 8-mile will journey through.

A Flood of Runners returns to Johnstown, PA every year for the Path of the Flood Historic Races! Experience the Path of the historic 1889 Johnstown Flood in its entirety with the 14 Miler or in small droplets through the 5K or 8 Miler races. See the resiliency of the communities of South Fork, Mineral Point, the boroughs and the City of Johnstown. Run through Staple Bend Tunnel, the first railroad tunnel in the United States. Finish at the Old Stone Bridge, which still stands after stopping the majority of the flood's energy. Our hybrid road/rail trail course beckons you to be a part of history once again!

The Path of the Flood Historic Races is hosted in partnership by the Cambria County Conservation & Recreation Authority and Heritage Johnstown. All proceeds from the Path of The Flood Historic Races will benefit the CCCRA Friends of the Trails program, a program which exists to enhance the Cambria County trails, and preserving the history of the Johnstown area.

For schedules, pricing, and more information on the POTFHR, visit the race website.

WE DO NOT ISSUE REFUNDS. If you are no longer able to attend and have already registered, your registration fee will be used as a donation to the beneficiaries of this race.

This event is part of the 2026 Cambria County Trails Series.
