North East, PA | Sunday, September 6, 2026Registration Open
This is a fun and unique local trail running event with combined wide trails and single-track trails for all skill levels. Your choice of three trail events. 1.) 5k trail walk/ run (1 lap) wide gravel and grass trails 2.) 10k trail run (1 lap) wide grass gravel along with dirt single track no major water crossings. 3.) Half Marathon trail run (2 laps 10k+ course) same as the 10k course no major water crossings. All monies raised will go to support local youth/ Boy Scout development activities. Only the 5K walk run permits dogs and strollers. First and foremost, we have every intention of hosting the Bull Dam Trail Run, scheduled onsite. That said, there are two reasons it could be canceled, changed significantly, or postponed that are out of our control: 1.) Cancellations by a government agency (think Covid restrictions) 2.) If there is extreme, inclement weather. (Lightning, high winds, hail) Note that we are subject to all restrictions put in place by the Pennsylvania State Government, the Pennsylvania Department of Health, and the North East Area Emergency Management Agency. We will follow their guidelines. Also, note that we will try to have the post-race breakfast of waffles and sausage and maybe bacon. We are required to have a health department permit to serve food. We will have some sort of post-race refreshments that will meet safety guidelines – perhaps local fruits and prepackaged snacks. (We will have breakfast again this year) Here are some specific details on the Bull Dam Trail Run, which is made up of three events: 1.) A 5K Trail Run/Walk 2.) A 10 Trail Run 3.) A 13.1 Mile Trail Run (two loops plus a little of the 10k course plus a little more.) Timing the events: We will have a timer on site. The results go up online within minutes.
