We are looking forward to the 2026 Hoodlebug 5K Run & Fun Walk to be held Sunday, September 13, 2026. This is a race that has been held for years as part of the Homer City Business Association's Annual Fall Festival.  The race starts at 4:30 PM on the bridge on Main Street near Floodway Park, but plan to come early to enjoy the Festival activities.

The Hoodlebug 5K is an out and back race held mostly on the nearby Hoodlebug Trail.  Runners and walkers are welcome.  Family pricing is available so bring the whole family.

Race day registration is from 3:00 to 4:15 at Floodway Park on the west end of Homer City, PA.  Pre-registration is encouraged.
