South Ridge Trail Challenge

This is a family friendly endurance event for rucking, running, or walking. The event raises money for Folds of Honor Western PA. https://westernpa.foldsofhonor.org/

Ruckers, Runners, walkers and families are welcome to do a single 4.7 mile loop or as many loops as possible. Some participants will take on multiple loops over the course of 4 or 6 or 8 hours and a few athletes will stay on course for a full 12 hours. All loops are ended with excitement and encouragement to see how far people will push together for a great cause. The official rucking guideline is a weighted backpack with 30# for men and 20# for women. Those doing the single loop are encouraged to challenge themselves and ruck, run, or walk. Those wishing to do less than official weight or no weight can still complete as many laps as possible if registering for the Multi-loop event price. Limited registration may be available the day of the event on site, subject to the race director on site on April 11th. Tshirts, swag and door prizes guaranteed for the first 100 sign-ups. A limited number of sweatshirts will be available for sale. Spectators and donations are welcome at the

event.

Ready, set, go! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Join us for the Dorseyville Middle School 5K and Kids Dash! Whether you're a seasoned runner or just in it for the fun, this race has something for everyone. The 5K will have you cruising through Hartwood Acres with the wind in your hair (and hopefully no puddles). And for the little speedsters, the Kids Dash is the perfect opportunity to show off those fast feet!

Come for the race, stay for the bragging rights. We can’t wait to see you there—just don’t forget to stretch! 😉

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.

Join us for the Eighth Annual "Chase the Antelopes 5k & One-Mile Walk". This event will take place at Avonworth Middle School, home of the Antelopes!

Students will be designing the t-shirt, creating unique medals and awards in their Technology Education classes, and contacting local businesses for sponsorship and donations. All proceeds will benefit the Hannah Milbert Memorial Fund.

See if you can catch the Antelopes on April 25th! The race will start and end on the high school track with a mostly-flat run through the Avonworth community neighborhoods.

Low entry fee of $20 until March 30th then $25. Race day registration (t-shirts no longer guaranteed) and packet pick-up will be available starting at 8:00 a.m. at Lenzner Field. Participant parking is at Avonworth Middle School/High School Campus. Do NOT park in the fire lanes.
