8 running, cycling, enduro, and other events in Danville, Pennsylvania

Bells will be ringing on this fast and flat horseshoe-shaped 5K course.

Start at the FQ Hartman Park Area in Montour County and dash straight down Front Street to the Danville/Riverside Bridge. Take a right and cross the bridge that stretches across the Susquehanna River, otherwise known as "Muddy Waters." You enter Northumberland County halfway across the bridge. Take another right and run down the D&H Avenue to the Merck Cherokee Plant. Make a left around a grassy area of a soccer field and green space, and head back on the Avenue D&H and retrace your steps back to Montour County and the FQ Hartman Park Area.

The scenery is amazing, and no matter the weather, you can't help but feel the excitement of running through the counties and crossing paths with the other race participants (high fives welcome).

This event series will donate to the Wreaths Across America.

Levee Up 2.5 Mile / 5 Mile - Sunday, March 8

The waters that run through the Danville Borough have created quite a roar through history. Several floods have run wild through the borough, causing the townspeople to seek protection and build a Levee system. Race this mostly grassy loop and take notice of the water that has carved its path and made its way over the banks into the borough on many occasions through history. Not Today, Agnus! Today we Levee Up and rise above.

This event series will donate to the Wreaths Across America.

Race day registration will open at 8am and the race will kick off at 9am.

Entry Fee: $30 per person or $100 for a family of 4

Challenge coins will be provided to every participant.

Awards will be presented at the conclusion of the race.

The Pig Iron Enduro is a fundraiser for the Danville Hammers Mtn Bike Teams. We are the current PA State Champs in PICL, the Pennsylvania NICA league. The Enduro is held in one of the several trail systems we ride and train on, so we’re super stoked to share these trails with you. When you race, we win!

CHOOSE YOUR RACE - There are lots of ways to come out and play! Below is what you can expect at this year's race:

• 5 downhill stages all located on Geisinger Trails property, featuring flowy technical elements.

• There will be 2 Aid Stations at the top of the trail system if neutral support or anything is needed.

• We are implementing a 4-hour time cut for this year's event. The race start time is 9:00 AM for all riders. Riders must return their timing chips before 1:00 PM in order to be scored for all sections.

• The standard timing system used by MASS events. Riders will tag in and tag out with their wrist band chips.

WHAT IS THE Enduro Lite CATEGORY?

We’re glad you asked! Something so easy and fun to do shouldn’t be so hard to explain.

• This a 3-stage category (meaning you are not racing on all 5 segments).

• Since this is a 3-stage category, we recommend it for First Timers.

• We will designate which 3 stages this category races.
