COURSE INFORMATION:
10K RUN: The 10k course begins in the Diamond and stays in the Borough of Hollidaysburg. The run takes off down Allegheny St and returns on Walnut St through Historic Hollidaysburg and continues around Legion Park, High School, Tiger Stadium, and the Junior High before going up over Union St and turning at the Blair County Courthouse to return to the Diamond, a true tour of the Borough!
6K RUN: Why 6k? 6k is the official distance that women run in NCAA Cross Country and provides another distance to challenge yourself with. This 6k course begins in the Diamond and stays in the Borough of Hollidaysburg. Just like the 10k, the run takes off down Allegheny St and returns on Walnut St through Historic Hollidaysburg and continues around the High School, Tiger Stadium, and the Junior High before going up over Union St and turning at the Blair County Courthouse to return to the Diamond, a unique course to show off the Borough!
5K WALK: The 5k walk begins in the Diamond and stays in the Borough of Hollidaysburg. The walk takes off down Allegheny St and returns on Walnut St through Historic Hollidaysburg and continues around High School and Tiger Stadium before going up over Union St and turning at the Blair County Courthouse to return to the Diamond, a true walking tour of the Borough!
Due to safety concerns, please refrain from using headphones.
