Welcome to the 12th annual Catch-A-Pig (CAP) 5K – this is a great opportunity to have a unique race experience AND support The Boys & Girls Club of Harford County!
The race is an out-and-back along the MA & PA Trail. 1K Bacon Stroll walkers are invited to join in the fun!
The kicker: THIS IS A CHASE! We’ll have young runners dressed in pink pig shirts (a.k.a. "the piglets"). They will have a three minutes head start on the adult runners. Those who pass at least one of the piglets before crossing the finish line get their name into a special drawing for prizes. BUT LOOK OUT! There are also a few BIG, BAD WOLVES who will get a late (seven minute) jump on you. If they all pass you, you'll lose the opportunity for the special drawing
All proceeds after costs will go to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Harford and Cecil Counties.
IF YOU ARE UNDER 13 AND WANT TO BE ONE OF OUR PIGLETS: We are accepting runners under the age of 13 to take off first. These young ones get a FREE pig t-shirt.
Bring your pup! Sign him/her up to join you (sign them up under the dog option). Dogs must be registered (just $10) and on a leash.

On January 23, 1992, Ben Yupcavage and Tim Russell, both Hershey High School athletes, were tragically killed in an automobile accident. In their memory, the Yupcavage and Russell families established the Tim Russell – Ben Yupcavage Memorial Scholarship Fund. Now in its 33rd year, the event which has become known as “Ben & Tim Day”, has maintained this scholarship fund in loving memory of and as a tribute to Ben and Tim.
Tim Russell exemplified the spirit of the sport of running as a leader, an inspiration, and a friend. He was as gracious in winning as he was in defeat. As a person and athlete, he possessed and demonstrated qualities that set an example for others to emulate and follow.
As a freshman, Tim became a key part of and contributor to his Cross Country Team which placed as State AA Runner Up Champions in 1989. For the next two years, Tim held the distinction of being the team’s number one runner and led the team to the State Cross Country Championship Title in 1990.
Ben, known to many as “Yuppy”, was a serious student, musician, and soccer player. Active on and off the soccer field, Ben was an honor roll student and member of the Student Council, the Yearbook and Production staff, and HHS Brass Ensemble. His love for soccer started in the first grade and continued through to varsity soccer at Hershey High where he was a standout player fiercely proud of his team and loyal to his teammates.
Off the field, Ben could be found encouraging his brother on the JV Soccer Team, assisting his little sister’s team and coach in addition to refereeing games for younger township teams. In soccer, as well as academics, Ben set a standard and displayed a passion to be admired by all who knew him.
The Yupcavage and Russell families extend their deepest appreciation to the dedicated organizers and generous sponsors of each year’s event and to countless friends and neighbors who come each year to honor and remember Ben and Tim. It is this dedication and support that enables the scholarships given in their memory to deserving Hershey High School students.

Shenandoah River Adventure Race — 5 & 12 Hour Challenges
Seventh Annual Edition — Shenandoah River State Park, Virginia
The Shenandoah River Adventure Race returns for its eighth exhilarating year on Saturday, August 22nd, 2026, set amid the scenic beauty of Shenandoah River State Park in Bentonville, Virginia. This iconic adventure race blends river paddling, mountain biking, and off-trail trekking into an unforgettable test of strategy, endurance, and outdoor skill for both individual racers and teams.
Race Overview
Both the 12-hour and 5-hour formats take place along the scenic Shenandoah River and surrounding state park, offering competitors a variety of terrain and challenges that reward smart navigation and efficient pacing. The race is part of the Virginia State Parks Adventure Series, with electronic scoring and pre-plotted maps to maximize racer experience and results tracking.
Racers are treated to:
River paddling on Class I-II whitewater sections of the Shenandoah River
Single-track mountain biking on quality trails with flow, climbs and descents
Trekking/navigation through wooded terrain with multiple route options
Electronic “e-punch” scoring for fast, accurate results
Awards, plaques, and swag for standout performances
Hot Food Post Race (Pizza, Sodas, Snacks) w/ Firepit Social at Night
12-Hour Adventure Race — Advanced Endurance and Strategy
The 12-hour race is designed to push competitors’ limits without breaking them. Ideal for seasoned adventure racers and those looking to step up to longer formats, this race challenges competitors to earn as many points as possible in the allotted 12 hours. With multiple route options and strategic checkpoints across paddling, biking, and trekking legs, success comes down to smart route planning and consistent pace.
Highlights:
Extended mountain biking sections with rewarding climbs and flowy trail descents
A scenic paddle stretch along the Shenandoah River
Pre-plotted maps for all disciplines so racers spend less time planning and more time racing
Solo and team entry options (up to 4-person teams)
This race is perfect for competitors targeting advanced adventure racing experiences and those looking to build toward longer multi-day or 24-hour events.
5-Hour Adventure Race — Stepping Into Adventure Racing
The 5-hour race is crafted for racers at the beginner to intermediate level who want a rich adventure racing experience. With a course covering an estimated 20–40 miles of combined paddling, trekking, and mountain biking, this format provides a balanced challenge that introduces racers to key adventure racing skills in navigation and endurance.
Typical Race Breakdown:
~3 miles of paddling on the scenic Shenandoah River
4–6+ miles of trekking, featuring creative route choices through varied terrain
8+ miles of mountain biking on quality single-track trails
Pre-plotted maps and multiple route options to enhance navigation strategy
This format is an excellent entry point for racers new to the sport — offering enough challenge to grow skills, while still being accessible. Transition areas allow racers to resupply and reorient throughout the event.
Race Experience & Community
Both race formats take place in one of Virginia’s most scenic outdoor settings, with gentle river views framed by the foothills of the Shenandoah Mountains. Competitors often stay at Low Water Bridge Campground or nearby park cabins, making race weekend an immersive outdoor adventure full of camaraderie and unforgettable landscapes.
Whether you’re chasing a personal best, stepping up into your first adventure race, or seeking a strategic day of multi-discipline racing with friends and teammates, the Shenandoah River Adventure Race delivers a richly rewarding challenge in a truly iconic natural setting.

The 50th Brandywine Tour!
Sunday, August 23rd, 2026
The Delaware Valley Bicycle Club is pleased to offer our fully supported, highly acclaimed, Brandywine Valley Tour featuring covered bridges, picturesque villages, and amazing vistas! Enjoy any of five gorgeous routes with multiple rest stops serving varied menus including vegan/vegetarian and gluten-free options on request.
Our courses are over low-traffic paved roads through the lush, rolling Chester County hills known for its thoroughbred horse farms and beautiful landscapes. Our longer routes venture into the horse and buggy farm areas of Lancaster County. Century riders will roll to a rest stop in the aptly named town of Paradise PA. History buffs will love the historic revolutionary war connection of the nearby Brandywine Battlefield Historic Site. Others will be charmed by beautifully shaded roads winding by the area's many creeks and streams. Just a few miles before your ride's end, cyclists on the 50 and 100-mile routes will roll into one of the region’s best “cow-to-cone” ice cream farms for a refreshing, free ice cream.
Please pay particular attention to the following:
All riders are expected to have a fully functional and well-maintained bicycle.
Helmets are required.
All routes may be navigated with cue sheets (provided) and/or GPS routes.
There will be no road marks, but we will place signs at major route splits.
Class II electronic bikes (bikes with pedal assist and a throttle) are not permitted on this tour.
SAG will be provided until 5 p.m.
All routes start at Charles F. Patton Middle School, 760 Unionville Road, Kennett Square PA 19348.
Your tour fees directly benefit the community! Proceeds after tour expenses are distributed to many community organizations. Past donations have included local trails and parks, non-profit cycling organizations and community schools and sports organizations.
2025 Road Routes:
20 Miles - A guided ride led by a DVBC ride leader for experienced riders who want a shorter option with approximately 900 feet of climbing and one water/rest break midway along the route.
35 Miles - This route, which climbs about 2000 feet, includes delightful rolls through quaint towns, plus magnificent equestrian farm scenery on the way to and from the Harmony Rest Stop.
50 Miles - Lots of flat stretches but enough hills that you will take notice of about 2971 feet of climbing. This route is so pretty we hope it won't bring tears to your eyes! Two fully stocked rest stops plus lunch at the finish.
66 Miles - Awesome scenery abounds in this ride from Chester County into Lancaster County and back again. Three fully stocked rest stops plus lunch at the finish with a tad under 4000 feet of climbing.
100 Miles – With about 6,000 ft climbing. This town and country ride has it all! We set you off on a moderate and scenic route, then head for the hills and dales of western Chester County and rural Lancaster County. You'll enjoy rolling past gorgeous Octorara Creek. Admire the impossibly tall corn, search for Amish Sunday worshippers with collections of horses and buggies visiting neighborhood farms. Plus you'll find two beautifully restored covered bridges on this route. Four fully stocked rest stops - including a stop in Paradise just for Century riders and a pizza stop - plus lunch at the finish.

The North East Triathlon is an amazing race in a beautiful location. Just minutes from I-95, a Chesapeake Bay time trial swim and well paved country roads along Elk Neck State Forest make this a great race. The course is low traffic, hilly and technical in places, but has plenty of straightaways and beautiful views. The run course is a lightly rolling, out and back course on the shoulder heading south of town. This Chesapeake Bay waterfront town is worth a weekend away, there are plenty of boats, parks, restaurants and roads to explore.
We know you will love this race, watch our race video to learn more.

5k Start – 8:30am
Packet Pickup: Race morning starting at 7am.

Race shirts, finisher medals and a post-race meal is included in the entry fee for all participants.
Where:
Route 54 Parking Area (Located on PA RT 54 between Mount Carmel and Elysburg)
Weiser State Forest
Roaring Creek Tract
Bear Gap, PA 17824
The race can only be accessed on the Route 54 side of the park. The entrance is 3.5 miles west of the intersection of Route 54 and 61. 4.3 miles east of the intersection on Route 54 with Route 487. (Lat 40.8213, Long -76.4922).
The race gets its name from the species of aquatic salamander known as the hellbender, which are native to the hills and mountains of the eastern U.S., and can grow to as much as two feet long. Because they breathe through their skin, they require healthy, pristine, unpolluted streams and creeks to survive. Due to development and urbanization over recent decades, however, many of their habitats have become fouled and their numbers have drastically declined — they’re just one of the many species the race organizers hope to benefit over the long term with their efforts here.
Both the 5K and the half marathon races follow out-and-back courses that start and finish at the Route 54 parking area in Bear Gap, which lies between the two small towns of Elysburg and and Mount Carmel. From there, runners make their way along the roads that wind along the reservoir lakes inside this 9,000-acre park, one of 16 tracts that make up the Weiser State Forest in what is known as the ridge and valley region of eastern Pennsylvania.
The course for the half marathon is mostly fast and flat through the Roaring Creek Tract, and takes runners both along the shores of the lakes inside the park.
