Register now for the 5th Annual Preston Park 5k sponsored by Friends of Preston Park Foundation.
NEW Last YEAR!! A 10k race will be held after the 5k. The 10k course is slightly more difficult than the 5k and uses some different parts of the park. Special prizes will be awarded to those who complete the Preston Park 15k challenge and run both the 5k and 10k courses such as a finisher medal, a hoagie and a hat. You did both races you deserve it !!
If you have not participated in the past, this 5K/10K is the perfect opportunity to experience Preston Park. Last year, runners, many of whom were first time visitors, enjoyed a wonderful fall day and praised the natural beauty of Preston Park - "Butler County's hidden gem." Be a part of this great day for runners and FPPF.
If you're a runner ... the course is not technical but very runnable, and one of those races that you need to do at least once. Walkers are welcome also.
There will be awards after each race.
This is the 22nd YUTC Event
Mill Creek Park is a very scenic and picturesque area maintained by the Ohio Metro Parks system. It is the second largest urban park in the USA - only Central Park is larger.
The current course is 95% single track past large mature trees, past lakes and waterfalls. It is mixture of short steep hills followed by runnable terrain.
There is approximately 1397 feet of elevation gain per 25K loop.
The 25K course is one loop around Mill Creek Park. The 50K course is two loops around Mill Creek Park.
This is a terrific race for the newcomers to trail running and challenging for the old veteran trail dogs.
YUTC will provide everyone with a truly memorable experience. You will find yourself stopping and snapping photo after photo to share with friends and family.
The YUTC Course:
The course begins at the Bresko Pavilion and travels clockwise around the park passing the Mill then traveling through the Covered Bridge to the aid station on the other side.
After leaving the aid station, the course travels counter clock wise around Newport Lake. The course returns to the Covered Bridge and the aid station.
After leaving the Covered Bridge aid station for the second time, the course travels clockwise back to the Wick Recreation area - to the finish line/aid station at the Bresko Pavilion.
The course will be well marked on race day. There will be white ribbon hanging from the trees, white pie plates indicating turns and water based white paint on the ground with arrows.
Notes: The course will remain approximately the same this year. The 2025 race will continue to circle Lake Newport. The original YUTC course circled the lake. The course will again circle the Lake Newport.

Overview The Baker Trail UltraChallenge is a 50-mile ultramarathon on the Baker Trail. The race starts at 6:30 AM; the deadline for finishing is fourteen hours later, 8:30 PM. Individuals as well as relay teams of up to 5 members may register. In 2025 we covered the Southern section. This year, we'll run the Northern section. Each year, a piece of a unique three-piece medal will be awarded to all individuals who finish within the fourteen hour cutoff. When you complete all three sections, you'll receive a handsome commemorative holder to display all three medals. You can run the series in any order -- once you've run all three, you'll receive the medal holder. The Baker Trail The 134-mile Baker Trail is marked as a typical hiking trail. Yellow blazes on trees, telephone poles, fence posts, guard rails, and so on indicate the path. Unlike many hiking trails, the Baker Trail is not always a footpath through the woods. In many areas, it follows dirt or paved country roads, some with narrow
shoulders. As with road running everywhere, you must always be alert and cautious.Because of the varying terrain, the UltraChallenge is more mentally demanding than similar ultras. You must always be watching for the blazes in order to stay on the course. In places, the Trail will be following a road only to abruptly turn off the road into the woods. Therefore, if you haven't seen a blaze in a few minutes, you may be off course and should backtrack to the last blaze and determine where you went wrong. Plenty of runners will go off-course at least once during the day. If you expect -- and accept -- that you will, too, it won't be quite as frustrating. The key to a successful race is to realize it quickly. Attending any or all of the three training runs (see section below) is a great strategy for learning the course prior to the race. The Venue The Brookville Evangelical Methodist Church (located at 30 White Street, Brookville, PA, 15825) will serve as basecamp for the event, with the
following activities taking place there: 1. Participant check-in2. Pre-race dinner 3. Camping (porta-johns on site)4. Shuttle service to the start line5. Drop-bag collection 6. Parking for individuals arriving race morning 7. Race finish line8. Post-race picnic Participant check-in is mandatory and we offer two options: 1. Friday evening between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. at the church. 2. Race morning, between 3:45 a.m. and 4:45 a.m. at the church. Yes, you may have friends or family check in for you and retrieve your packet and chip. This option is useful for relay teams, with one person retrieving packets for the entire team. The Course Last year, we traversed the Southern section of the 134-mile Baker Trail. In 2026, we cover the Northern section, with a scenic, point-to-point, 50-mile course that begins at the Northern terminus and ends at the Brookville Medothdist Church. With 6,200 feet of climbing, runners will enjoy deep forest, single-track trails that overlap with the North Country Trail
and meander through Cook Forest. Check out our website to see a detailed breakdown of aid station locations and other important information. Equity Historically, the Baker Ultra has averaged a participation ratio of 80% men and 20% women, which is the case of most 50-milers. In recent years, we've made a concerted effort to listen to female runners and learn about the barriers they face. We have gone on to adjust our procedures and marketing strategies to better align with the needs and interests of women. These efforts have paid off. The 2023 Baker Ultra 50-miler was comprised of 52% women, an exceptionally rare metric for a race of this distance. The following policies remain in place for the 2026 event: 1. Gender equity: 50% of the spots are reserved for women, 50% are reserved for men. 2. Transgender and nonbinary guidelines: we see you, we hear you. Join us! 3. Pregnancy (maternal and paternal) and Adoption deferrals: it's about time! Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Guidelines remain
in place for 2026 on onwards. The guidelines can be found here.For the third consecutive year we are hosting a "Women's Run & Raffle" to boost the women's field and foster a supportive environment for women. This event is FREE and takes place on Sunday, May 17 at 7:00 a.m., is co-hosted by Rachel Carson Trails Conservancy and Public Lands of Cranberry. The format includes a 4-mile loop, a 6-hour timeframe, food, giveaways and raffles. Choose to run the entire time, or pop in for one or two loops! Link to event details and registration for this free event. Training Runs For the fifth year in a row, we are offering training runs, free and open to the public. These guided group runs provide an opportunity to acclimate to the race course and fine-tune nutrition and hydration strategies. Dates for the training runs are: Friday, July 24, 2026Sunday, July 26, 2026Saturday, August 8, 2026 Check out our website event calendar where each training run is listed with important details + RSVP links.

Cook Forest 25k Trail Challenge
Since 2018, the Cook Forest 25K Trail Challenge has earned its place as a legendary event in Pennsylvania’s trail running scene. Nestled within the ancient woods of Cook Forest State Park, this 25K offers more than just a test of endurance—it’s a journey through some of the most breathtaking natural beauty the state has to offer. With towering evergreens, riverfront paths, and a deep sense of community, this race feels more like a homecoming than a competition.
packet pickup
packet pick up and day of registration is available at shelter 2 from 7:45 to 8:45 the morning of the race.
Location
start/finish and packet pickup is at Shelter 2. Address is 2604 Forest Rd. Vowinckel, PA 16233.GPS coordinates 41.34609 N, 79.21845 W
Course
The course is a rugged and rewarding loop that strings together 13 interconnected trails across more than 17 miles of varied terrain. Your adventure begins with a lung-busting scramble up Seneca Trail, taking you to one of the park’s most iconic landmarks—the historic Cook Forest Fire Tower. From this vantage point, the forest stretches endlessly in every direction, offering a preview of the miles to come.After descending from the tower, runners head into the heart of the course, where miles of trail weave alongside the pristine Clarion River. The cool breezes and flowing water are a welcome reprieve before the course transitions to the tranquil paths of Tom’s Run, known for its shaded, serene beauty and consistently cool temperatures. The route immerses you in a cathedral of some of Pennsylvania’s tallest living evergreen trees, delivering a spiritual kind of solitude only found in old-growth forests.
Aid Stations
There are three aid stations along the course: at approximately mile 5, 10 and 15. Aid stations will include water, Tailwind hydration drink and usual snacks. These stops provide essential hydration and nutrition to keep runners fueled as they tackle the demanding loop. Runners are strongly encouraged to carry fluids with them as the day heats up rather quickly.
Runner Experience
The Cook Forest 25K is more than a trail race—it’s a shared experience. From the pre-race check-in to the final high-fives at the finish line, runners are embraced by a welcoming, tight-knit community. Whether you’re chasing a personal best or soaking in the serenity of the forest, you’ll find yourself surrounded by people who love the trail just as much as you do. By the end of the day, you’re not just a participant—you’re family.
Practical Details
Registration is available through UltraSignup. Lodging options include nearby cabins, campsites, and local inns, making it easy to turn race day into a weekend getaway. Weather in the forest can vary, so runners are encouraged to dress in layers and prepare for both sun and shade throughout the course.
About the Organizers
The Cook Forest 25K is hosted by a passionate group of local runners and volunteers committed to showcasing the beauty of their home trails. With a deep connection to the park and a focus on fostering community, this team has created a race that’s as heartfelt as it is hardcore.
Event's current local time: 4:15 AM ET
Join us for the 1st Annual “Love, Jill” Memorial Race, a 5K charity run and 1-mile walk through the streets of Beaver along the beautiful Ohio River on August 15, 2026. This event is held in loving memory of Jill Renee Littler, who passed away on September 22, 2025, after a courageous battle with oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma.
Jill’s strength was forged long before her cancer diagnosis. At just 15 years old, she was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease, a fight she carried with her for 36 years. Through countless surgeries, hospital stays, treatments, and daily challenges, Jill faced her illness with quiet resilience, grit, and grace—never allowing it to define her or diminish the love she gave to others.
In early 2025, Jill was diagnosed with oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma. She approached this battle with the same determination and grace that defined her life. On May 2nd, Jill underwent major surgery that included extensive lymph node removal, partial mandible (jaw) removal, and complex reconstruction using a titanium plate, followed by reconstructive surgery. Her treatment continued with 33 rounds of radiation and multiple rounds of chemotherapy. Despite setbacks, severe side effects, and overwhelming physical challenges, Jill pushed forward with unwavering resolve, always focused on her family and the people she loved.
In August 2025, Jill was hospitalized after developing a blood clot in her lung. Following additional procedures, doctors discovered the cancer had spread. With love, clarity, and extraordinary courage, her family made the difficult decision to bring her home, where she passed peacefully surrounded by her loved ones on September 22, 2025. Race weekend falls on Jill’s birthday, making this gathering an especially meaningful celebration of her life.
Jill was the heart of her family and a bright light in the Beaver County community. She lived guided by the values she cherished—love of family, service to others, a strong work ethic, kindness, and gentle leadership. Whether as a coworker, friend, volunteer, or quiet supporter behind the scenes, Jill had a rare way of lifting people up. This event honors not only her memory, but the compassion, strength, and grace she shared so freely with everyone she met.
Participants may choose between a 5K run or a 1-mile fun walk. The event will also feature a Chinese auction and a 50/50 raffle.
All registered participants will receive a commemorative race t-shirt, available for pickup at the event.

Why “Love, Jill”?
Jill ended every note, message, and reminder the same way she lived her life—with love. To honor that legacy, her family created the annual “Love, Jill” Scholarship, transforming her signature into a lasting gift for young people in our community. Through this scholarship, Jill’s message continues to inspire future generations:
“I believe in you.”
We invite the entire Beaver County community to join us in celebrating Jill’s life, honoring her legacy, and showing her family just how deeply she was loved.
