Experience a Race Like No Other. Old-world practices. Lush countryside. Hard-working people. All these things and more make BIH Half a special experience. But some things can’t be described – like the sense of community that follows well after you cross the finish line.

Online registration ends on August 27, 2025. There will be in person registration race weekend starting at 11:00am on Friday, September 5th.

Join the Honey Brook Community Partnership to experience a 5K like no other! Set in the heart of the Lanchester Landfill & Reclamation Center, where nature and sustainability meet. This unique course offers a scenic and challenging run or walk through gravel roads, wooded trails, grassy paths, and segments of the Lanchester Nature Trail.

Starting at the facility entrance (elevation 875 ft), runners and walkers will navigate a series of steady climbs and enjoy peaceful stretches through reclaimed landscapes. Two major hills define the course:

• First Climb: Elevation gain from 919 ft to 1,056 ft through wooded and grassy paths

• Final Ascent to Eastern Overlook: Elevation gain from 1,020 ft to 1,156 ft on gravel roads, leading to panoramic views of the surrounding valley

After reaching the overlook, runners and walkers will double back and enjoy a fast, mostly downhill finish to the starting line. A Kids1 Mile Fun Run on a mostly flat incline will kick off immediately after the runners head up the hill.

Race proceeds go to support non-profit groups in the Honey Brook area that provide food and emergency support services to those in need in this community. Learn more about the Honey Brook Community Partnership at honeybrookpartnership.com

Explore the scenic Glenroy Preserve trails at the fourth annual Kettle Cooker Five & Dime on October 4th, 2027 presented by Herr's Snacks and Altra Running, along with many local sponsors! It takes a village!

Glenroy Preserve is a beautiful outdoor playground that also happens to be rich in history. Some of the trails will take you through parts of the Underground Railroad, while even running past a tavern that was said to have served patrons during the Civil War.

Each distance is a loop. The 10 mile and 25K distances will follow the same course but then split around mile 9. ALL distances offer plenty of hills, creek crossings, mixed terrain, and plenty of on-course support.

Start time is 8:00am for ALL distances.

Registered runners will enjoy:

• Entry to the 5 mile, 25K, or 50K trail race

• Chip timing

• Soft race tee courtesy of Altra

• Water and nutrition on course at all three (4) aid stations

• A complimentary beer post race (21+)

• Post race snacks, food, and music

There will be two pre-race packet pickups:

Friday, October 2 TBD

Please note: Race registration closes on October 3, and there will be NO race day registration or packet pick up. Please plan to pick up your packet at either of the designated dates before completing your registration.
