Kettle Cooker Trail Race
About this race
Explore the scenic Glenroy Preserve trails at the fourth annual Kettle Cooker Five & Dime on October 4th, 2027 presented by Herr's Snacks and Altra Running, along with many local sponsors! It takes a village!
Glenroy Preserve is a beautiful outdoor playground that also happens to be rich in history. Some of the trails will take you through parts of the Underground Railroad, while even running past a tavern that was said to have served patrons during the Civil War.
Each distance is a loop. All distances will follow the same course, however the 5 mile runners will split around mile 4 to the finish. ALL distances offer plenty of hills, creek crossings, mixed terrain, and plenty of on-course support. The 50K is two loops of the 25K.
You should wear trail shoes for this race, as there are numerous creek crossings and mixed terrain to traverse. Your feet WILL get wet and trail shoes offer the best drainage and traction.
Start time is 8:00am for ALL distances. Course closes at 5pm, which offers a generous cut-off time for the 50K.
Registered runners will enjoy:
- Entry to the 5 mile, 25K, or 50K trail race
- Chip timing
- Soft race tee
- Water and nutrition on course at all three (4) aid stations
- A complimentary beer post race (21+)

Please note: Race registration closes on October 3, and there will be NO race day registration or packet pick up. Please plan to pick up your packet prior to the race.

Kettle Cooker 5 Miler
This is a five mile loop through some of the most beautifully maintained trails with plenty of undulation! The terrain can be technical, in part, so we would suggest wearing a trail specific running shoe for better traction and drainage because rocks can be slick and there are 3 creek crossings.
Kettle Cooker 25K
The 25K follows the five mile loop until around mile 4 when it diverts to trails that are unique to this distance! The terrain can be technical, in part, so we would suggest wearing a trail specific running shoe for better traction and drainage because rocks can be slick and there are at least 6 creek crossings.
Kettle Cooker 50K
The 50K follows the 5 mile loop until around mile 4 when it diverts to trails that are unique to this distance! The 50K is two (2) loops of the 25K so you will pass through all aid stations twice. The terrain can be technical, in part, so we would suggest wearing a trail specific running shoe for better traction and drainage because rocks can be slick and there are at least 6 creek crossings.
