Race Information
This race gives the runner a combination of street running and 'rails to trails' running through the heart of Houtzdale, PA. It includes moderate elevation increases and decreases, but at least half of the course is flat. The race will award 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place medals for each age bracket. There is also a "Fireman's Challenge" in which runners complete the run wearing fire gear (liner not included) to win a cash prize for their chosen EMS/Fire department.
