Who We Are: Healthy Kids Running Series is a five (5) week running program in the spring and fall for kids Pre-K through 8th grade. Each HKRS Series takes place once a week and offers age-appropriate running events including the 50 & 75 yard dashes, the 1/4 mile, the 1/2 mile and the 1 mile run. Kids will earn points for each race they complete based on their finish.

Pricing: The registration fee covers the entire five (5) weeks of the Series which includes race bibs for each week, a runner shirt, a finisher medal and any sponsor giveaways. Registration is non-refundable and non-transferable. Online Early Bird registration increases three weeks prior to the first race event.

Challenger: This Series offers a Challenger Division which is an adaptive 75 yard race for children with disabilities and/or special needs. This allows for parents, siblings, and friends to be on the course with runners to provide support as well as bringing their own supportive devices such as crutches, braces, wheelchairs, etc. to be used by runners.

Makeup Date Information: 5/17/2026

Single Day Racing: Single day race registration opens one hour prior to the start of each race. The registration fee covers one single race to be run on the day of registration. ALL single day registrations should be completed onsite at the race location. Single day racers will have the option to upgrade to the full series (see tab on the left side of the page for instructions). There is a strict no-refund and no-transfer policy.

    Welcome to the Greater Purpose 5k run and mile walk!

    This event will be hosted at Friendship Village Campground in Bedford, PA. As you progress through the course you can expect to view the beautiful nature of the campground and all of its amenities. All are welcome to participate because we offer an experience from a competitive 5k to an enjoyable mile stroll.

    This event is called the Greater Purpose because everything we do is for a greater purpose of serving God and following His will for us. As you compete you will be participating in the greater purpose because all proceeds will be donated to missions, through a local church, to help spread God’s word.

    We encourage you to take part in the Greater Purpose 5k and mile walk because this event idea was sparked in memory of Brenda Neff. She always went above and beyond in dedicating her time to others and the Lord. She served for a greater purpose and is an inspiration for others to do so too. No matter how you finish, just remember the greater purpose even through all the hills and valleys.

    End of the Road Half Marathon (October 24–25, 2026 · Waterfall, PA) is one of Pennsylvania’s most unique fall races. Choose the Half Marathon or 4 miler and run through two long, dark tunnels on the abandoned Pennsylvania Turnpike, surrounded by peak autumn foliage.

    Looking for an October race that’s unlike anything else in the state? This event takes runners deep into history along a stretch of highway bypassed in 1968 and untouched by cars for nearly 50 years. The course blends five miles of tunnel running with rolling rural roads and stunning mountain scenery.

    Not ready for 13.1 miles? If you’ve run a 5K before, the 4 Miler is the perfect next step. It’s approachable for newer runners, fun for walkers, and still gives you the full thrill of racing through the famous abandoned tunnels. Curious what it's like to run through the tunnels? Watch our End of the Road Half Marathon & 4 Mile preview video with footage from 2024 participant, Natasha.

    Race Options:

    • Half Marathon – Saturday or Sunday (choose your day)

    • One Tunnel 4 Mile – Sunday

    • Two-Day Challenges:

    • 26.2 Road Closed Rambler – Half Marathon Saturday + Half Marathon Sunday

    • 17.1 Tunnel Traveler – Half Marathon Saturday + One Tunnel 4 Miler Sunday

    Why Runners Love It:

    • Run through 5 miles of tunnels – a headlamp or flashlight is required

    • Limited field sizes each day for an uncrowded course

    • Official pacers for both Half Marathons to help you hit your time goals

    • Movie Night on the Turnpike Saturday evening (The Addams Family in 2025)

    • Host hotel near the start/finish that hosts packet pickup (book early—sold out last year)

    Now in its eighteenth year, this race has welcomed runners from across the U.S., raising funds for The Old PA Pike’s efforts to turn the abandoned turnpike into a permanent greenway for runners, walkers, and cyclists.

    Be part of one of Pennsylvania’s most talked-about October races—and one of the most memorable courses you’ll ever run.
