Get ready to hit the dirt at the 6th Annual Tree Hugger Run on May 2nd, 2026! Join us for an exhilarating walk or run over a fantastic mix of trails right here at the beautiful Goodell Gardens & Homestead in Edinboro, PA. It’s the perfect way to connect with nature and your inner trail enthusiast!
Our 5K course is a love letter to the outdoors, guiding you through:
Soil that squishes.
Woodland trails that wind.
Open fields where you can let your speed fly (or enjoy a brisk walk!).
Our signature boardwalk paths.
Art that catches your eye.
Mud Warning! This is a true trail event—so, dress for the weather and embrace the mess! Your feet will likely get muddy and wet, but that just means you embraced the Goodell wilderness.
The approximate distance is 5K (3.1 miles), but the final course and exact length will be determined in the spring based on the best trail conditions.
Junior Trailblazers (Kids Race)
We haven't forgotten the little nature lovers! The Kids Run is an exciting dash of about .75 miles.
