13.1 Miles 4 Miles Run Trail

We are excited to share that this year we have added a 4 mile race option through the beautiful trails of RB Winter State Park. This distance is perfect for beginners who want to try trail running, as well as experienced runners who would like to enjoy a relaxed day on the trails with friends.

The Dam Half Trail Challenge has grown from a small race for hardcore trail runners into a popular, family-friendly event with a few hundred participants taking on the trails each year. Trail running has exploded in popularity, especially in central PA, where our diverse and high-quality races have even drawn national attention.

Profits from the races will be shared with the Mifflinburg Hose Company and the Middleburg Boy Scouts.

NOTE: To receive the neck gaiter and gloves you must register by Sunday, September 6. We need three weeks lead time for the supplier.

As always, great food, friends, and music after sharing the trails.

    New for 2026: we will be moving to Age Group Starts

    As race day approaches, each age group will be assigned:

    • A corral time

    • A start time

    Age groups will be seeded based on estimated 300-yard swim time. This format not only creates a more competitive and engaging race experience—especially as a USAT National Qualifier—but also helps reduce crowding on the pool deck and improves overall flow.

    We expect the start process to remain smooth, with a similar cadence to past years and only minimal breaks between groups.

    Race Day Schedule – Saturday, May 30, 2026:

    5:00–6:30 AM – Packet pickup & bike racking

    6:30–7:30 AM – Swim warm-ups (pool opens)

    7:45 AM – Transition area closes (regardless of age group start time)

    8:00 AM – Race begins (staggered swim starts every 5-10 seconds, racers ordered by 300-yard swim time w/in their age group)

    9:00 AM – Finish line celebration with food trucks and post-race food for athletes

    11:00 AM – Awards Ceremony

    Awards:

    Top Male & Female Overall

    Top 3 Relay Teams

    Age Group Awards (1st–3rd Male & Female):

    14& under, 15–19, 20–24, 25–29, 30–34, 35–39, 40–44, 45–49, 50–54, 55–59, 60–64, 65–69, 70+
