🪑 The Empty Chair (Dads Chair) & 💙 Rilyn’s Way
The Empty Chair along the course symbolizes those we’ve lost — a reminder that they’re always with us on the trail.
💙 Remembering Rilyn — “Rilyn’s Way”
Rilyn Nicole Hughes was a beautiful 7-year-old girl who lived just a few miles from the race course. After a courageous five-and-a-half-year battle with Neuroblastoma, Rilyn passed away surrounded by those who loved her dearly.
Before she passed, we committed to honoring her by naming the final half-mile of every race:
“Rilyn’s Way”
You’ll see a sign at the ½-mile-to-go mark. Pause if you’d like. Take a photo. Draw strength from Rilyn’s spirit as you finish your race.
🕊️ Special Dedication
The Harry J. Shipley Memorial Run
Last Trail Standing is dedicated to Harry J. Shipley, father of race director Chad Shipley, whose birthday is November 17.
Harry loved old country roads — always wondering where they led. That same curiosity guided the creation of this race: chasing every trail, connecting every path, and seeing where it all goes.
“The Last Trail Standing isn’t about speed — it’s about exploration. And the only way to conquer it is to show up and run.”
— Chad Shipley
🌲 One Last Note
The full course map will not be released in advance (same course as 2025). This is intentional. We want the experience to unfold as a true adventure.
What we can promise:
99% wooded trails
Every trail in Settlers Cabin Park
An experience you won’t forget
Ready to conquer every trail at Settlers?
We’ll see you at the start line on November 14.

The course is an out-and-back on a paved portion of the famed, wooded Montour Trail. Enjoy a sprint or a stroll on a crisp autumn morning among a crowd of all ages who share a common love for giving. The Gratitude Run is an outpouring of love that impacts givers and families in need for life.
The Gratitude Run is dedicated to fostering a spirit of unity and compassion through our unwavering commitment to supporting a family in our community. Our mission is to cultivate a sense of togetherness and gratitude by organizing annual runs that not only promote a healthy lifestyle but also serve as a platform to raise funds and resources for a local family in need. With every stride, we aim to build a stronger, more connected community that embraces the values of empathy, kindness and support.

RACE ROUTE:
Race starts right in front of the former New Florence ambulance garage which is right beside the fire hall. We will run up a block make a left head towards the New Florence Manor. Then quickly jumping on route 711 for about a tenth of a mile before hitting Boswell road. From there you run out towards the state gamelands running by the Laurel Hill Iron Furnace before turning around. From there you run back a couple tenths the same way you just came until you Pick up Furnace lane and head back towards town. Then you don’t have to make any turns for almost a mile when you make a turn on Mulberry Street run a couple blocks down to 15th street where you turn left and finish out the last tenthish mile the same tenthish mile how you started, finishing back in front of the old ambulance garage.
We will have someone stopping traffic as you cross 711. Also to slow traffic down the tenth of a mile you are on 711 before hitting Boswell road. It’s not a closed course but traffic is very minimal. We do ask you to be cautious and be aware of your surroundings.
The course is exactly 3.10 miles. I measured it numerous times. While measuring I made sure to run the most efficient route so that means running the tangents to you take the most direct line as a professional would. The course has a net gain in the first half of the race and net decline the second half.
There is one water stop on the course we will have water there, its located right past the furnace right before the turn around there. Right at the 1.45 mile mark. Please keep all cups/trash located to that area. There will be a trash can there to throw cups in. Do not throw trash down the road. Where its located you will pass it go about 30 yards and turn around so you pass it twice quickly if you would need another drink. Make sure you go around where the sign that says Turn Around Here and the marking on the ground.
Ive added Map My Run to the bottom of this registration page so you can use it to see the course outline, elevation profile and if you want to upload the map to your watch to use you are now able to.

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 will allow pets again this year to be on the course. Please have you pet under control at all times. It must be on a leash at all times. If you are caught with pet off a leash or not under control we will disqualify you. You must clean up after your pet if it has a accident. Failure to do so will result in a DQ. Please use your best judgement in bringing a pet with you. Those who are not friendly around people or other pets are not welcome. We don't want animals fighting or barking during the event. Please don't make us regret allowing this option.
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. Also so you can hear those directing traffic or traffic coming, again it is not a closed course. If you are pushing a stroller please be aware of other runners and vehicles give them the right away.
We will do our best to make sure the roads are in good condition for the race, being a December race be prepared and dress appropriately for the conditions that may be present.

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.
