Trails 4 Tails at Codorus State Park
Trails 4 Tails is a trail running event at Codorus State Park in Hanover, PA, organized by York Ridge Runners. The course mixes terrain with about one mile of pavement, open fields, winding singletrack, and a shoreline section when conditions allow. Runners pass the Chestnut Orchard, Rummel Farm, and the historic Mary Ann Furnace area.
The event offers multiple distances:
- 40 Mile Ultra
- 40 Mile Relay
- 25K
The 40 Mile Ultra uses seven loops of 5.72 miles for approximately 40 miles and about 4,200 feet of elevation gain. The relay also uses seven loops with roughly 600 feet of elevation gain per loop and allows teams of up to seven runners who may run one or more loops. The 25K is three loops of 5.72 miles, totaling about 17.2 miles and roughly 1,800 feet of elevation gain.
All races start and finish at Pavilion 1 where a fully stocked aid station and restroom facilities are available. The aid station includes Tailwind, Coke, ginger ale, bacon, pierogies, quesadillas, grilled cheese, pickles, and a variety of sweet and salty snacks. Cutoffs apply: an 11 hour overall cutoff for the ultra and relay, a hard aid station cutoff at 4:00 p.m. for the ultra, and a 7.5 hour cutoff for the 25K. Participants who register by August 1 receive an official race shirt. Camping is available at the park and a race day picnic will be held. Dogs are welcome on the course. Awards recognize top finishers in the 25K and 40 Mile Ultra. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
