Trail Running in Lock Haven
The Real People Helping People event takes place in Lock Haven, Pennsylvania, starting from the Durty Dabber Pavilion. This trail running event utilizes the natural terrain of Zindel Park and McElhattan Nature Park, featuring a variety of distances for participants. The proceeds from the event support local youth programming, specifically the Haven Summer Youth Program and the Central Mountain Cross Country team.
Participants can choose from several course options:
- 10K: A trail loop with approximately 1,300 feet of elevation gain, passing the reservoir and scenic vistas.
- 5K: A route following the Creekside Trail through wooded areas and McElhattan Nature Park.
- 2.5 Mile: An untimed nature trail run or walk intended for families and those seeking a relaxed pace.
- 17 Under 10K: A distance category specifically for participants aged 17 and under.
- 17 Under 5K: A distance category specifically for participants aged 17 and under.
The courses consist of rugged terrain and forest paths. Runners who register by September 21 receive a T-shirt. Food is provided for participants following the event, and spectators may also access meals with a donation. The event site is located at 274 Reservoir Rd, with parking available at the pavilion. Registration closes a few days before the event, though race-day registration is also an option. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
