14 Miles Run Trail

Looking for a fun, slightly ridiculous, definitely memorable running challenge? You’ve found it!

The Sheetz-to-Sheetz Trail Run is a 14-mile, untimed point-to-point adventure benefiting local kids and other worthy causes. We start at one Sheetz, wind through farmland and forest, and finish at another Sheetz. Most of the route follows the Dahlgren Railroad Heritage Trail (DRHT), a flat, scenic rails-to-trails gem. Shuttle buses haul runners from the finish area and event parking in Dahlgren to the start line, so you only have to run one direction — forward.

While we hand out cool awards for our top overall and Masters (50+) finishers, the real prize is the experience: quirky aid stations stocked with pie, s’mores, Peeps, soft pretzels, and other culinary curveballs you won’t find at Boston or Berlin.

Finishers earn swag they’ll actually use — an insulated Sheetz travel mug, free soda or coffee, a sweat towel, reusable race cup, doughnuts and other snacks, and a drawstring bag to haul it all home. You won't earn a drawer medal -- the travel mug you can use daily serves as your finisher medal!

Note: With the exception of trained service animals, dogs are not permitted to run as part of this event.

    Don't miss out on the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the Dahlgren Railroad Heritage Trail. Sure, these races are held in August. In Virginia. That's the bonus challenge! All runners will receive a tank top or t-shirt (your choice!) and a finisher's medal.

    Both race courses are beautiful, scenic out and back courses on a mostly flat, smooth rails to trails course. There are roots and bog boards in sections of the course - use extra caution in these areas.

    Cash prizes, great competition, good food, and awesome swag all make this a memorable event. There is a 4-hour time limit for the half marathon and an 8-hour time limit for the 50K - runners and walkers are welcome!
