Come sample some of the sweetest single-track in Western PA at the Tapped for Sap 25k+!
Join runners and hikers this spring to celebrate the trails of Brady’s Run Park. Nearly all of the park’s 2,000 acres will be on display, as the course hits every corner on a unique and challenging loop. Rolling hills will have you climbing wooded ridges, traversing lakeside trails, and descending through groves of hemlock. Whether you’re racing for the Golden Sap Bucket or out for a fun-paced journey, we’ll be honoring everyone’s effort at the finish with cinnamon rolls, pancakes, and maple syrup.
Brady's Run is the largest park in Beaver County. In addition to miles of great single-track for hiking and biking, the park also has a lake, ice arena, outdoor sport facilities, and playgrounds.
We are proudly a Trail Sisters Approved race.
Awards. 1st male and female will receive the Golden Sap Bucket. 2nd and 3rd will also be recognized.
