Chilly Cheeks 11K Trail Run, Reading PA
The Chilly Cheeks is an 11K trail run held on January 3, 2027 at the Reading Liederkranz German Singing & Sports Club, 143 Spook Lane, Reading, PA. The event is presented as an annual Pretzel City Sports race and may be the last edition depending on turnout. Registration is online only; same-week and race day entry availability is noted as likely, and small service fees apply.
The course is short in distance but contains technical terrain: rocks, roots, fallen leaves, and steep downhills and uphills. Conditions often include rain, snow, or cold, and the route can run longer than its stated distance under snowy conditions. The course is described as well marked and includes two water stops with varied drinks.
On site amenities include indoor toilets, covered finish area, parking, hot and cold food, a cash bar, and immediate finish place posting with official results posted the next day. EMS services are present. Awards are given across multiple age groups plus Clydesdale categories. Race policies note no refunds, no mailed shirts or awards, and no outside alcohol on site. Pets are allowed only if kept toward the back for the first quarter mile, remain comfortable around others, and stay on a very short leash; pets are not permitted inside the registration or awards area.
Participants are responsible for their own safety and welfare while on the course. Postponement for impassable roads may move the event to the following Saturday at the same venue. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
