Dirty Dozen is a unique cycling challenge. What makes this unique, you ask? This is a multi hillclimb event of some of the steepest hills in the country with neutral disposition between hill
segments, a rolling start into the hill, and a roadrace style finish for points.( if you are competing). Whether you are a newbie or a seasoned competitor, this ride can put you to the test. Some basic ride details and rules follow. Additional information can be found at the main event web page: http://www.dannychew.com/ddinfo.html
Route: Strava Route This link is good for training purposes in small groups. It may be updated at the last minute to account for road construction. It has all the hills, but it may not be the course followed by every ride leader. Competition heats in particular will follow different routes to Canton and Boustead.
Number Pickup: This year you can pick up your number and possibly some swag at Biketek in Squirrel Hill an Forbes Ave from 5 pm to 7pm on Friday October 23rd. It will be warm and dry. By doing this you can avoid the cold line at the park in the morning.
Number Pickup link ( old)
If you elect to wait until Saturday morning the number pickup and Registration will open for 1 hour starting at 8am. Bikereg will be live until the start. No cash.
Start Location: This year’s start is located at the Rhododendron Pavilion in Highland Park. This is on Lake Dr near the lake.
Parking: There is plenty of parking on either side of the street along Lake and Reservoir Dr. Please be respectful of the Dog Park and leave space in front for other patrons.
Safety: Remember—safety first. You will be on open roads with vehicle traffic. Always be alert for road hazards and traffic. When riding in a pack remember that you are among cyclists of all different abilities. Follow instructions given by ride leaders and marshals in your group.
Weather: This is Pittsburgh. Although the October event should prevent a whole day of snow or freezing rain, it is still known to be wet and chilly at this time of year. Dress in layers with a waterproof layer on top if necessary. Remember to overlap the waterproof layers so that water does not flow into your clothes...think roof shingles.
You are responsible for determining when the weather has gotten the best of you. Have an escape plan if things get unsafe for you or others. I do not think there are 400 Ubers in Pittsburgh.
Your numbers: For non-competitors, a helmet sticker will be provided. Competitors also receive frame, bar numbers, or saddle numbers (TBD). The helmet number is to be mounted on the front, center of your helmet, just above the brim. The frame number is to be mounted towards the front of your bike’s top tube where it is clearly visible from either side. These will be needed for identification throughout the ride, and are essential for participation in the points competition.
Heats: This year there may be as many as 9 heats including a separate heat for the women's competition and a handcycle heat. Come to the Start line 5 minutes before your start time.
Heat 1: Open Competition (9:00am)
Handcycles. (9:00am)
Heat 2: Licensed ( 9:10)
Heat 3: Club Heat (9:15)
Heat 4: Women's & Nonbinary Competitive (separate) (9:20)
Heat 5: DD Fan Club (9:25)
Heat 6: Rouleur (9:30)
Heat 7/8: Party Bus (9:40)
Food stops and restrooms: Food stops and portable restrooms are at Millvale Riverfront Park, on River Front Drive in Millvale, and at after Boustead at the Pauline St Park. The Cobden Street Block Watch and the South Side Slopes Neighborhood Association will provide some refreshments at the top of Eleanor Street, the 12th hill.
Being an official finisher: You must successfully ride every hill in the event to be an official finisher. Successfully riding a hill means that you make continuous uphill progress to the top under your own power, and the only contact points with the ground are the two wheels; falling down, putting a foot down, grabbing poles or other stationary objects, jockeying in place, etc. are disqualifying, and the hill must be restarted from the bottom if any of these occur. “Finisher” ribbons will be awarded to riders certifying they successfully rode every hill. To receive one, ypu will need to follow the provided route to the Awards Ceremony location ( East End Brewery)
Points competition: To remain eligible for a placing in the points competition, riders must be official finishers as described above and finish the final hill within 20 minutes of the first finisher of that hill. The pace between the hills is neutral and riders must stay together. When approaching the start of a hill, riders must stay even with or behind the riding official who signals hill starts. This is a rolling start. We do not stop at thebottom, or time your results. The official blows a whistle at the beginning of each contested hill at their discretion as they approach the bottom of the hill. Only then may riders go as hard as they want to the top in an attempt to score points. The first ten competitors in each competative heat on each hill receive points in their respective competitions.
After Party and Awards Ceremony will (Likely) be held at East End Brewing Company on Julius St in Larimer.
The GPS route ,linked above Will directing you back to Highland Park will lead you past the awards ceremony location.
The Final letter sent the day before the event will have all the latest information such as route, rest stops, schedule, locations, in case they change.

In honor of Jarrod Bunk’s belief that the bike community can help to build a community in need, we bring back Higher Ground with the locals of Johnstown, the Pennsylvania Environmental Council, and
the Community Foundation for the Alleghenies.
This will be a scenic tour with opportunities to connect with the natural beauty of the Laurel Highlands and bond with like-minded souls before and after in downtown Johnstown.
The goal is to keep the grassroots spirit of the original iterations of Higher Ground which showcased rugged routes throughout the surrounding Johnstown area. Expect to be greeted with punchy climbs, path-less-travelled trails, and a tour of the environmental wonders that are the Laurel Highlands and the Allegheny Mountains.
Here are the routes that will be available:
Thirty: An out-and-back on the Path of the Flood and Staple Bend Tunnel trails to go to the Johnstown Flood Memorial Park (you'll ride through the dam that broke).
Forty: Heads north towards Hinkston Run Reservoir, then east on quiet paved roads before bombing down into Summerhill and into the Johnstown Flood Memorial Park (you'll ride through the dam that broke), and returning to Johnstown on the Path of the Flood and Staple Bend Tunnel trails.
Sixty: Does the Forty route back into Johnstown, then up into the Rager District climb & descent, and back into Johnstown.
Eighty: Does the Forty route back into Johnstown, and then UP into the forested Gamelands west of town and then back down to the rolling roads in the south before riding back to on the Jim Mayer Riverswalk and into Johnstown.
Hundo: Does the Forty route back into Johnstown and then UP into the forested Gamelands west of town and then back down to the rolling roads in the south before riding back to on the Jim Mayer Riverswalk to the Start/Finish and the last 20 miles go up into the Rager District climb & descent and back into Johnstown.
There will be aid station support and the start/finish venue will have food & drink available. All riders must check in & out so we know who's taking on which sections of the course.
To learn more about the history and purpose of Higher Ground, read this story on The Radavist from 2022.
Partners that are making Higher Ground happen include:
Pennsylvania Environmental Council
Community Foundation for the Alleghenies
Fat Jimmy's Outfiters
Thomas Automotive
New Trail Brewing
Endo TuneUp
Stan's
Nittany Mountain Works
Footdown.cc

The Blackburn Center provides services to victims of domestic and sexual violence as well as other kinds of violence and crime in Westmoreland County. They also provide education throughout the community about these topics. Learn more at: https://www.blackburncenter.org/
Who was St. Dymphna?
St. Dymphna was the only child of King Damon of Ireland during the 7th century. After her mother (the queen’s) death, St. Dymphna’s father mental health began to deteriorate rapidly. King Damon was suggested to remarry as he grieved his wife’s death and sought to marry a woman who looked like his deceased wife. In King Damon’s ill mind, he sought to marry his own daughter. Seeking to defend her purity and faith, St. Dymphna fled to Belgium at 15 years old. King Damon found her and attempted to convince her once more to marry him. St. Dymphna refused. Her father was enraged, drew his sword, and beheaded his daughter. St. Dymphna received the crown of martyrdom and is the patron saint of those who suffer with nervousness, mental illness, and victims of incest and domestic abuse. She inspires us to be resilient against evil and have hope in God, trusting that he will never forget us.

Quarry Shack 5 Miler 6th Annual
October 31, 2026
This Year's Race Will Be On HALLOWEEN!!!!!
INTRO:
Come relieve history while running Ghosttown Trail's first ever nighttime race now in its 6th year
that brings fun and excitement to all who partake. This 5 mile race will be held on the Rexis Branch, this race is currently the only standalone race held on this section. You will start right past the closed gate next to the old train at the Rexis trailhead. From there you will run 2.5 miles out then turn around about a tenth of a mile after the Red Mill Bridge you cross over on the trail, coming back to where you started. It's a completely closed course. There are no road crossings or any intersections you have to worry about. Its a straight out and back in the dark on a beautiful section of trail. This means you will required to have some sort of light for you to see while running. It's a great chance to have some safe fun near Halloween while running in the dark. If you never ran in the dark this is a SPOOKTACULAR opportunity to get you feet wet and see what is all about and why people
enjoy it, while being around friends.
The reason behind the name of the race is there is a old Quarry Shack with some local history to it, about 2.25 miles into the race on left hand side going out and right hand side coming back. It was also used for some scenes in the movie "The Boonies" which is a good horror movie to watch.
COURSE INFORMATION
I measured the course by sticking to the right side of the trail on the way out then on right side of the trail the way back so you should always be running on the right side of the trail in the direction you are heading. I did not take out the tangent curves because I want all runners to stick to the right side except to pass someone. This adds safety to the race and should allow no interference between runners heading in opposite directions. This is important since the race is at night. Even though it's basically flat rail trail you will still have 115 feet of total gain on the way out with no descent. There are no hills it's just a slow steady incline. On the way back you will be running all downhill retracing that 115 feet which now becomes descent. Enjoy the free speed coming back.
There will be one water stop on the course about 25 feet from the turn around under a pavilion along the trail, that way as you go around the turn you can throw your cup in the trash directly across from the aid station. Please try to keep cups in that area and not way down the trail for easier clean up after the race. The Turn around will be well marked, there will be a huge Halloween decoration indicating this is where you turn around at. Both the aid station and turn will have signs indicating they are coming up.
There will be Halloween decorations along the course and some lighting to show the cool things along the course. The Halloween decoration along the course are bigger and more noticeable then in the past, even more spookier and noticeable. We will continue to use the bigger more noticeable decorations. There WILL NOT be anyone jumping out at you.
Halloween costumes are encouraged. The scarier and odder the better. Makes the race more fun if you choose to dress up. Think Spirit of the season. I Would say the vast majority of the field has dressed up in the past. Each year we try to go spookier with the things we use on the course.
There will be a start/finish Line arch with Quarry Shack themed banners on it (weather permitting).
PRICING:
Pricing is $20 until October 5 at 6pm then it becomes $25 till registration closes, then $30 day of race. There is day of registration starting at 5:30pm and ending at 615pm. Cash or Check only day of. Credit cards will not be accepted day of.

There will be trail cameras set up along the course to try and capture you passing by during the race, it makes it even cooler that they are pictures in a night vision setting, I will say this is hit or miss at night because they don't always capture people running to close by them.
Ill have items set up for you to take pictures with at the start/finish line, these will be set up before the race and wont be taken down till we clean up, though with natural lighting they can come out better before the race starts, but why not take before and after with the items. I also will be filming the entire finish line with a go pro. While I'm at the finish line ill be taking photos and short clips as well with my phone to go along with the long form filming. These will all be posted online after the race. When they are all up ill send a email out, it will take a few days to get them all up.
FOOD/LIQUIDS
We will provide water at the water stop. There will also be post race snacks, ill try to have nice standard variety. There will also be water at the finish line area.
RULES
We are testing out the free child registration option for those 10 and under. We require at least one adult to be present at the event to watch the child. The adult does not have to run beside the child during the event, but we ask that you use your best judgement in letting the child run alone if you choose to let them.
There is to be no unsupervised children to be dropped off at the event. We Are not responsible for watching or taking care of a child, if a child is dropped off unsupervised by anyone we will contact the authorities, this is for safety purposes and liability purposes on our end and your along with everybody in attendance. Again we are not responsible for any unsupervised children and unsupervised children will not be allowed to participate, if found after the event they will be stricken form results.
We ask no pets be brought on the course or around the event. We love animals but not everyone is comfortable around them. Since it is a night race bringing a pet becomes a trip hazard and anyone violating this rule will be D.Q. Actual service animals are permitted. Headphones are allowed. Please be courteous to fellow runners and listen at a reasonable volume so you can hear other runners coming or calling out if they are passing you. Strollers are allowed but must have a lighting device on the stroller.
We DO NOT mail awards. Stick around to receive your award. We do not allow you to come and pick it up at your convenience either. We understand you may have to leave early for work or family obligations so be a adult and get with us beforehand if you absolutely must leave early. We highly discourage having someone pick yours up during the awards because again you should have seen us before leaving and not everyone has that luxury to have someone there. We believe as a running community we all need to support one another in this community as it grows with each race. That support includes all the way through the award ceremony. We all need to celebrate the accomplishments of every participant at all events we attend and the hard work that goes into each persons training to get them from start to finish. That's why we want you to stick around. Also its nice to have people cheer others on as they finish.
Also no smoking, alcohol or drug use is permitted in any area the race will be using this includes parking lots, staging area, race course or restrooms. These are our rules along with rules of the trail. Remember this is a kid friendly event where young lungs are at play along with the possibility of adults with health issues. we are trying to make this event safe and comfortable for everyone.
No throwing any trash/garbage along the course. Whatever you start with you have to end with. The only exception is the ability to throw trash away is at the water stop at that garbage can there.
To be considered for awards you must finish under you own power, whether walking or running, as stated above children must participate under their own power as well to be considered for awards, being pushed inside a stroller will not count for children they must use their own two feet the entire time.
Headphones are allowed, we ask you to please be courteous to fellow runners and that you listen to your audio at a reasonable volume so you can hear other runners coming or calling out if they are passing you.
SWAG Shirts: We are switching back to t-shirts this year. Its a really cool design. The shirt deadline is firm on October 5th at 6pm. After that firm deadline we cannot order you a t-shirt, we also do not order any after the event or mail shirts to you if you do not make it, so you must be present to get your shirt even if you order one you must pick it up at the event or your forfeit your shirt purchase. T-shirts are a $10 add on. As in the past not everyone wanted a t-shirt so to keep registration fees lower we offer it as a add on. Additional shirts can be purchased.
We do not offer refunds, cancellations or transfers at this time.
Refund/Cancellation:
We do not offer refunds, cancellations or transfers to our other events at this time. This event will go on no matter the weather unless by some chance a state of emergency is declared. You can however switch between the run and walk before registration closes and before the official event starts. If you do not know how to switch online before registration closes get in contact with me and ill do it for you. If you decide to change day of, it must be before the start of the race. Once the race officially starts you can no longer change between the walk and the run.
Run signup does offer insurance for races in case something happens that you can not make it such as a vehicle breakdown, illness or injury. We enabled this feature for this race so if you want you can purchase insurance while registering but it does not go thru us directly it goes thru runsignup, please read whats exactly covered and the rules for it. The insurance can be purchased when you get to the checkout its at the bottom.
Any questions please reach out to us so we can get you the correct answer.
TIMING:
Chip Timing with a mass start with chip finish. Unless there is a strict covid restriction policy then the race will go to a starting mat time trial event with runners being spread out at the start. Race will not be cancelled unless a natural disaster. You bibs will have a chip on the back so time is accurate once you cross the finish line. For the timing mats to read your time properly have bibs placed on the front of your body. If bibs are placed on your back it will not get read properly.

The Allegany County FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) has hosted the Narrow Way race annually since 2019 to generate scholarship funding to send more students to local and regional FCA camps.
Students that attend these camps often have life changing experiences. The race include 10K, 5K, and 1K fun run/ walk options. We are looking for competitive runners as well as casual runners/walkers for our 1K. All ages are welcome and encouraged!
NEW in 2025: Teams! Create and/or join a team for your school, workplace, or church. Team photos will be taken for the Allegany Website. A full year of bragging rights await! A minimum of 3 team members are required to finish the race to obtain a team result, which will be based on the top 3 runners of each team.
The race's name (Narrow Way) has dual meaning. The race course follows the GAP (Great Allegheny Passage) Trail through a steep sided valley west of Cumberland called 'The Narrows'. Narrow Way also references the path to eternal life, "You can enter God's Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it" (Matthew 7:13-14 NLT).
The start/finish will still be in front of the stage in the Canal Place Festival Grounds. Canal Place is a charming public space, speckled with small businesses and restaurants located at the intersection of two celebrated trails, the C&O Canal Towpath and the Great Allegheny Passage (GAP). The C&O canal towpath extends 184.5 miles to Washington DC, winding alongside the Potomac River for much of its length. The Visitor Center for the C&O Canal National Park is also located at Canal Place (https://www.nps.gov/choh/index.htm). The GAP Trail follows the former path of the Western Maryland Railroad and a branch of the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie Railroad 148 miles to Pittsburgh, PA. The Western Maryland Scenic Railroad (https://wmsr.com/) still shares the GAP corridor between Cumberland and Frostburg (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaOAiQ-WRd0). Most of the GAP is crushed stone. However, the GAP is paved between Cumberland and the trestle bridge west of the Narrows (~2.5 miles).
There are two good routes to access Canal Place coming from the East: 1) I68 to Exit 43B (MD51/Industrial Boulevard/Airport). There is parking on the left at the end of the exit ramp under I-68. 2) I68 to Exit 43C (Downtown), turn left of W Harrison St, cross intersection into Canal Place. Public parking is on the right & overflow parking is available is also available on the SW corner of Baltimore St & Mechanic St (one block west of the Canal Place entrance).
The best route to access Canal Place from the West: I68 to Exit 43C (Downtown), turn left on Queen City Drive, turn L at the 1st stoplight on W Harrison St, continue on W Harrison St to Canal Place. Public parking is on the right and overflow parking is available is also available on the SW corner of Baltimore St & Mechanic St (one block west of the Canal Place entrance).
There are many lodging options in Cumberland, including Fairfield Inn & Suites (located adjacent to Canal Place) @ 21 North Wineow Street Cumberland, Maryland 21502 (301-722-0340); Hampton Inn @ 109 Welton Dr, Cumberland, MD 21502 (301-729-4028); Holiday Inn Express & Suites @ 1076 National Hwy, La Vale, MD 21502 (301-729-4800); Comfort Inn & Suites @ 1216 National Hwy, La Vale, MD 21502 (301-729-6400); and Best Western Braddock Inn @1268 National Hwy, La Vale, MD 21502 (301-729-3300).

CANTON RUCK RUN 5K
Saturday, November 7, 2026 | Plain Township Memorial Park
Year Two. Bigger Mission. Deeper Impact.
The Canton RUCK RUN 5K is more than a race — it’s a community-driven movement
built to honor service, support local veterans, and bring people together with purpose.
Whether you ruck, run, or walk, every step you take helps strengthen the lives of those who served our country and the organizations that support them right here in our community.
In our inaugural year, this event sold out in just 100 days, raised $4,000 for local veterans’ service organizations, and rallied volunteers to adopt 30 local veterans’ families during the holidays — filling Christmas tree tags and collecting food and toys for the SAM Center.
Year Two is about building on that momentum.
Our goal for 2026 is to double participation, expand sponsorship support, and honor even more veterans along the course — and we invite you to be part of building what comes next.
WHO THIS RACE IS FOR
Veterans & active duty service members
Civilians who want to move with meaning
Walkers, runners, ruckers, families, students, and teams
Anyone who believes honoring service is worth showing up for
You don’t have to be fast.
You don’t have to carry weight.
You just have to care.
WHERE THE IMPACT GOES
Proceeds from the Canton RUCK RUN 5K directly benefit local veterans’ service organizations, including:
SAM Center
Veterans Service Commission
Other local veterans organizations serving Stark County
Your registration supports real people, real families, and real needs — right here at home.
FINISHER MEDALS
All race finishers will receive a custom 2026 Canton Ruck Run 5K medal — a meaningful keepsake symbolizing participation, purpose, and impact.
TRIBUTE SIGNS – HONOR A HERO
Tribute Signs are a powerful way to honor a veteran who has impacted your life or to show your organization’s support.
$30 per Tribute Sign
Include the veteran’s name and branch of service
Signs are displayed prominently along the course
Participants may take their sign home after the race
Organizations purchasing tribute signs should email their logo to:
Proceeds from Tribute Signs directly benefit local veterans’ service organizations.
SAVE THE DATE — REGISTER EARLY
This is a race people plan for — and it fills fast.
Register early, invite others, and be part of a growing tradition that honors service and strengthens our community year after year.
STAY CONNECTED

The best part of adventuring is the stories.
That time you were packrafting down a remote river and spotted a deer chasing a Canadian lynx up the bank…
That sunrise over the Catskills, when the red
and yellow leaves sparkled with frost…
Those trail angels you encountered, when everyone on the team had run out of food, and you were still miles from the TA…
That night you and your teammates came together to overcome insurmountable odds and made it to the finish line, with seconds to spare…
This race is for the stories.
The Race
The Stockville is a two-day foot and navigation event, inspired by the mountain marathons of Europe and the UK. Each morning, racers will receive maps of a linear, point-to-point course that will take them through the wilds of north central Pennsylvania. The final checkpoint on Day 1 - and the start location for Day 2 - will be at midcamp, a community campout where we'll come together over roasted marshmallows to share in the wonder of our collective adventures.
The event is open to solo racers and single-gender and mixed-gender teams of 2-4 people.
Racers will be required to carry all food and gear for the duration of the event. Tents and cooking supplies will be transported to midcamp.
