Perfect for early risers and those looking to log multiple loops.

The Race Director (or an assistant) will lead the first loop, then you're free to repeat it or explore on your own.

🏃 Second Wave – 9:00 AM

Both groups run the same ~10K loop but at different paces:

Group 1 (5:00–14:00 min/mile): Led by Peter Kozlowski

Group 2 (>14:00 min/mile): Led by Chris Cain from Pro Bike + Run (Robinson)

Note: This is a group run – no course markings. We’ll stick together and keep it social.

What to Expect

Come preview parts of the 2026 Hell Hath No Hurry course in a relaxed, no-pressure setting. Whether you're new to trail running or a returning HHNH veteran, this is a great way to scout the terrain, meet fellow runners, and get your feet dirty (literally).

Aid & Supplies

Minimal support – bring your own hydration and nutrition

We’ll have bananas, donuts, and maybe a cooler of water if it’s hot

Join us for the 14th (and Final) Annual Run for the Titan Trail 5k/1 Mile Walk/Tot Run!

The chip timed 5K run and 1 mile walk courses will begin at Shaler Area Elementary School and circle through local neighborhood streets, ending back at the school. The Run for the Titan Trail 5k is a fundraiser to help fund the cost of a year-end reading incentive trip to Millvale Riverfront Park and Three Rivers Heritage Trail for Shaler Area Elementary School students. Free voluntary reading in our school has increased exponentially since the creation of Blazing a Titan Trail: A Reading Adventure. Students strive to read 18 books throughout the school year to attend the trip.

Blazing a Titan Trail: A Reading Adventure is a school-wide reading incentive program at Shaler Area Elementary School, an upper elementary school with 1,000 students in grades 4, 5, and 6. The program has been developed by a volunteer committee of teachers, librarians, parents, and administrators.

Check-in/Registration will begin at 7:45. The 50-yard tot run will begin at 8:50 am. The 5K race will start at 9:00 am and the 1 mile walk will begin directly after. Please register by April 5 to receive a t-shirt (limited numbers and sizes of t-shirts will be available after this date).

Note - $5.00 off registration discount for students will be applied once age group is chosen.

FoxWall EMS is hosting the Run For The Hill Of It.

The race starts promptly at 9am. After the race there will be a family friendly atmosphere with excitement for all ages. Included in the ticket price will be a race shirt, complimentary food trucks, a balloon artist, face painter, dj, blow up obstacle course and slide, mini amusement rides, and more.

We look forward to “Conquering Center” and supporting our local first responders in the process.
