COURSE INFORMATION:
4.5 Mile Run:

The 4.5m course will start at the YMCA and run up Brush Mountain Road and take the scenic route of Hollidaysburg. The last part of the run will make a right onto Hart Street from N. Montgomery Street instead of going straight to turn on E. First Street. There will be a road marshal to help direct runners. Start/Finish will be at the old main entrance to the YMCA.

2 Mile Run/Walk:

The 2 Mile course is the same as previous years.  This is as flat of a course as you can get!  2 Mile runners will be facing the opposite direction of the 4.5 Mile runners.  You will start 1 minute ahead of the walkers.  Make sure you stand in front of the walkers, they will have a different color bib number on. Walkers will be positioned behind the 2 Mile Runners and start 1 minute behind.  Walkers are absolutely not allowed to run at any time! You will have a different color bib on than the runners.  Road marshals will ask you to walk if you are seen running.  If you would like to run/walk, sign up for the 2 Mile Run as you are more than welcome to run/walk!
