Trail Running at Glenroy Preserve
The Kettle Cooker Five & Dime is a trail running event held at the Glenroy Preserve in Nottingham, Pennsylvania. The course utilizes a network of maintained trails characterized by significant undulation and varying terrain. Participants traverse landscape rich in local history, including areas connected to the Underground Railroad and sites dating back to the Civil War era.
The event offers three distinct distances, each designed as a loop:
- 5 Miles: A single loop featuring three creek crossings and technical sections.
- 25K (15.5 Miles): A course that deviates from the shorter loop at the four-mile mark, featuring at least six creek crossings.
- 50K (31 Miles): An ultramarathon distance consisting of two laps of the 25K course.
The terrain involves hills, creek crossings, and technical footwork with rocks that can become slick. The organizers recommend trail-specific footwear for traction and drainage. The event provides chip timing and four aid stations stocked with water and nutrition. On-course support is stationed throughout the preserve to assist runners during their respective distances.
Registered participants receive a race shirt and access to post-race food and music. Packet pickup is scheduled for the Friday and Saturday preceding the event at locations such as Lola's in Oxford, PA. There is no registration or packet pickup available on the day of the race.
