Redman 9 miler, December 5, 2026
The Redman 9 miler is a trail race in York, PA that runs around Lake Redman. The course is mostly single track and includes a cumulative climb of about 1,200'+. The route passes under Interstate 83 twice; both tunnel crossings often carry water, usually ankle deep, and the second crossing is roughly 50 yards long and requires ducking for clearance. A headlamp is not required.
There is one aid station a little before the halfway point stocked with water, Gatorade, performance candy and other quick energy items. Cutoff times are set at two hours to the aid station (approximately 4 miles) and 4.5 hours to the finish. The event is part of the YRRC Trail Series and current YRRC members who run are eligible for series points.
Online registration closes December 2. Race day registration is available for a fee and accepts cash or Venmo. A finisher item will be awarded to all finishers; the top three men and top three women will receive premium items. Post-race food is provided in the pavilion and, if at least 60 participants register, brisket will be available at the finish.
New for 2026: a Ruck division requiring a minimum of 10 pounds of carried weight, and an award for the best Ugly Christmas Sweater judged before the race. If park trails close the event will convert to a virtual format with no refund; awards and finisher coins will still be presented. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
