3.1 Miles 31 Miles 6.2 Miles Run Trail

The rugged trail race you know and love is back for its 14th year in 2026! Participants can choose from a 5K, 10K or 50K option. All courses are technical trails through a beautiful old-growth forest with spectacular scenery.

The 5K will feature a course that is almost entirely on trail. The 10K course includes a flat, fast section to feature the beautiful Wetlands trail as you run past fields and streams. Don't worry, you'll still get your 3 steep climbs, technical descents and stunning sights.

For those who really want a challenge, register for the 50K. This gnarly and beautiful course will be 5 loops on the 10K course, totaling 7,000+ feet of elevation gain. Want to read more about the 50K (or any of the races, really)? Check out this review by Inaugural Overall Winner Cole Crosby!

All three courses will throw a little bit of everything at you: steep climbs, fast runnable single track, and technical descents. This event is true PA trail running.

This race is to benefit the Friends of Salt Springs Park, which is an entirely volunteer-run entity (the only State Park run by volunteers in PA!), to help maintain and conserve the beautiful trails we get to spend the day on. Consider adding a donation!

Stick around after your race to enjoy food, beverages and camaraderie. More details to come.

All races will be chip timed by Falcon Race Timing.

Deadline to order a race shirt is TUESDAY, AUGUST 11, 2026. Limited sizes may be available for purchase the day of.

50K Details

There will be a fully stocked aid station at the start of each loop (approximately every 6.5 miles). Any fueling or nutrition outside of that or needed on course will need to be carried with you.

No pacers. Poles are ok but not necessary.

You will be able to leave any personal items/drop bag at the aid station area.

This is not a beginner friendly 50K, and this is not a lenient cutoff. Runners must start their last lap no later than 4:00 pm. If you fail to start your last loop by 4:00 pm you will not be allowed back out onto the course.

The 50K course cutoff is 6:30 pm sharp.

    PLEASE BE AWARE -- Runners signing up between now and the race will not receive any promotional bags!

    The 5K was a hit last year and we’re glad to bring it back to our annual Blueberry Festival in Montrose, PA! Come on out on Saturday, August 2nd for our Second Annual 5K and Fun Run. Work up an appetite on the race course, and then have some blueberry pancakes at our breakfast tent! We have family friendly events happening all day on the Village Green in Montrose, PA. If you're feeling extra competitive, sign up for our pie-eating contest Saturday afternoon! All proceeds from the Blueberry Festival (and 5K/Fun Run) benefit the Susquehanna Historical Society & Free Library Association.
