The Murrysville Monster is a trail race like no other, covering 2 of the most beautiful parks in Western Pennsylvania, Duff Park and Pleasant Valley Park. This race will be a treat for the experienced and new trail runner alike. You will experience beautiful single track, water crossings, lots of elevation, log and tree obstacles, and more. Don't let the flat and fast start fool you. It is a tease for sure. The course is truly a MONSTER!

Come join us during our 2025 Slickville Community Days celebration! The August 9th 5k race is a challenging backcountry route with several hills leading to the "coal mine climb" up the slate mound past the famous Slickville sign that overlooks the town. The 2-mile walk is a much gentler course through town for the first half and returning to the finish on the Westmoreland Heritage Trail where you can watch the runners in their attempt to reach the summit of the race. Be sure to sign up early to guarantee receipt of an event sports shirt in your preferred size.

After completing the run/walk, all participants will be treated to a complimentary pancake breakfast with locally sourced genuine maple syrup courtesy of the Slickville Community Church and Maple Lodge.

Registration is open on race day from 7:00 AM to 8:15 AM. The run/walk begins at 8:30 AM. An awards ceremony will follow around 9:30 but feel free to stay or come back later to check out the other events including a car show, craft and food booths, children's activities, a cow patty bingo and musical entertainment throughout the day and evening. A fireworks display will take place shortly after dark.
