This is a trail running event, so expect off-road terrain typical of the park's natural setting.

From the Race Organizer
The PRC is hosting The Philipsburg Heritage Days Race at the beautiful Cold Stream Dam and Recreation Area of Philipsburg. This year will offer two distances the 5K and 10K. The 5K will consist of two loops around the Cold Stream Dam and surrounding trail system near the stream. The course is relatively flat and consists of gravel terrain and trail surfaces. It is a great beginner race for everyone. The 10K course will also run through the recreation area but will take a turn up a hill and then through the Historical Philipsburg Cemetery before re-entering the woods and then loop around the trails and back to the finish. Proceeds for this race will help the perpetual care of the cemetery.
