THE DIRTY KILN TRAIL RACES ARE BACK FOR OUR 13TH RUNNING!

JOIN US APRIL 11TH, 2026 FOR EITHER OUR 10K RACE OR TACKLE OUR HALF-MARATHON COURSE.

The 143th “Dirty Kiln Trail Races at Canoe Creek State Park” brought to you by Allegheny Trailrunners, Inc. will be Saturday, April 11th, 2026! Trail runners will have a choice to run the short course up Moore’s Hill and around the lake or the long course around the park a second time but on a more hilly and challenging half-marathon course! Both courses have a lot of variety of trails from wide paths, winding singletrack, stream crossings and mud… lots of mud.

Allegheny Trailrunners is a 501c3 not-for-profit organization and its officers are all volunteers and are not compensated for our work. All net proceeds from our events are proudly contributed to carefully predetermined charities and other non-profit organizations at the end of the year. But we do like to reward our participants – especially since Dirty Kiln has been an introductory race toward trailrunning.

We have a very detailed website at http://www.alleghenytrailrunners.com/dirty-kiln-trail-race/ with course details, maps, and much more.

REFUND POLICY

Participants are eligible for a 50% refund of the race fee minus RunSignup fees until 3/11/2026. We will not do deferrals or bib transfers. No same-day signups for this event.

    Welcome to the Greater Purpose 5k run and mile walk!

    This event will be hosted at Friendship Village Campground in Bedford, PA. As you progress through the course you can expect to view the beautiful nature of the campground and all of its amenities. All are welcome to participate because we offer an experience from a competitive 5k to an enjoyable mile stroll.

    This event is called the Greater Purpose because everything we do is for a greater purpose of serving God and following His will for us. As you compete you will be participating in the greater purpose because all proceeds will be donated to missions, through a local church, to help spread God’s word.

    We encourage you to take part in the Greater Purpose 5k and mile walk because this event idea was sparked in memory of Brenda Neff. She always went above and beyond in dedicating her time to others and the Lord. She served for a greater purpose and is an inspiration for others to do so too. No matter how you finish, just remember the greater purpose even through all the hills and valleys.

    Get ready to lace up for our 2nd Annual [Un]Leash the Fun! This year, we aren't just running for fitness—we’re running for Mack (the good boy in the picture). 🌈

    If you knew Mack, you knew a dog who lived life to the fullest for 14 beautiful years. He was a connoisseur of extra-sharp cheese, a professional sun-soaker, and a world-class singer whenever the fire whistle blew. Whether he was cuddling a shark stuffie or enjoying his daily pup cup, Mack was the definition of "spoiled" in the best way possible.

    Mack’s family fought a brave battle alongside him against kidney disease—navigating special diets, IV fluids, and everything in between. While Mack eventually gained his wings, his legacy of joy and resilience stays behind.

    This year, every mile we clock honors Mack’s 14-year legacy and the incredible bond between a dog and his family.
