From the Race Organizer
The event includes a 1/2 Marathon run and a 5K run/walk. The 5K also provides an opportunity for families and people with pets to participate. Both are held on the Yough River Trail of the Great Allegheny Passage (GAP) which provides a flat, fast, crushed limestone surface. Medals are given in both races. Please note that medals not claimed on race day will be discarded. Pacers from Marathon Pacing will participate in the 1/2 Marathon. The Mon Yough Trail Council (MYTC) hosts this race. It raises necessary funds for trail maintenance and upkeep throughout the year. The MYTC is one of a network of all-volunteer trail councils that exist along the GAP specifically to keep the trail open and accessible for all.
