Join Us for Goodell Gardens & Homestead 2026 5k Run/Walk Tree Hugger Run

Get ready to hit the dirt at the 6th Annual Tree Hugger Run on May 2nd, 2026! Join us for an exhilarating walk or run over a fantastic mix of trails right here at the beautiful Goodell Gardens & Homestead in Edinboro, PA. It’s the perfect way to connect with nature and your inner trail enthusiast!

Our 5K course is a love letter to the outdoors, guiding you through:

Soil that squishes.

Woodland trails that wind.

Open fields where you can let your speed fly (or enjoy a brisk walk!).

Our signature boardwalk paths.

Art that catches your eye.

Mud Warning! This is a true trail event—so, dress for the weather and embrace the mess! Your feet will likely get muddy and wet, but that just means you embraced the Goodell wilderness.

The approximate distance is 5K (3.1 miles), but the final course and exact length will be determined in the spring based on the best trail conditions.

We haven't forgotten the little nature lovers! The Kids Run is an exciting dash of about .75 miles.

    We are pleased to announce our 13th annual LECOM 5K as a healthful event that enables you to walk or run either our 3.1-mile course or one-mile course. LECOM Medical Fitness and Wellness Center encourages an active lifestyle throughout our great nation. So, we are maintaining our virtual option for those who are unable to attend our live event. Our virtual option does not require a timing device for you to participate, but you have the option of posting your time on the registration site to see how your time compares with others from around the country. Our live event will have the option to utilize timing devices and bibs so you can either compete for a place medal or just go for a personal best. The primary focus of both events is on the students who will be the future of our healthcare.

    We have seen the heightened risk that has faced our medical professionals over the past several years. They are stalwarts on the front line, providing care to those in need of medical attention and risking their own lives to save others. Our profession is a noble one, and mindful of those currently in the battle, our efforts now will benefit those who will serve in years to come.

    All proceeds from the 5K event will benefit the LECOM Student Scholarship Fund, helping to defray the educational costs of our future health care providers from LECOM.

    LECOM is an institution that trains Osteopathic Physicians, Pharmacists, Dentists, and Podiatrists. Since its inception, LECOM has proven itself as an educational institution that encourages and supports its scholars through and beyond their years of study. Our Annual LECOM Student Scholarship Galas are the chief generator of resources that are used to assist students in defraying and offsetting the cost of their medical education. Each year, we raise millions of dollars in scholarship aid for our deserving students. In a time during which there is an increased need for primary care physicians, the need for successfully graduated medical practitioners is felt now more intensely than ever before.

    Participating in our live event:

    1. Register by August 7th, 2026. Same-day registrations will be accepted; however, we strongly recommend that you register prior to race day to avoid any delays.

    2. Pick up your race packet on August 7th between 5:00-7:00 PM at the Wellness Center main entrance or on the day of the live event. Registration and packet pick-up will begin at 8:00 AM on race day and close at 8:45 AM.

    3. Registrations after July 1st will NOT be guaranteed a shirt on race day.

    4. Post-race refreshments including fruit and water will be available.

    5. Each participant will be eligible to win a variety of door prizes following the race courtesy of our sponsors. You must be present to win.

    6. Awards will be given to the top 3 male and female finishers in the 5K race.

    Participating virtually:

    1. Register by September 30th, 2026.

    2. Complete the 1-mile or 3.1 miles between May 1st and September 30th, 2026 and upload your results to https://runsignup.com/Race/PA/Erie/LECOMERIE5K

    3. Receive your completion t-shirt by mail in the following month.
