Sheetz-to-Sheetz™ Trail Run

Looking for a fun, slightly ridiculous, definitely memorable running challenge? You’ve found it!

The Sheetz-to-Sheetz™ Trail Run is a 14-mile, untimed point-to-point adventure benefiting local kids and other worthy causes. We start at one Sheetz, wind through farmland and forest, and finish at another Sheetz. Most of the route follows the Dahlgren Railroad Heritage Trail (DRHT), a flat, scenic rails-to-trails gem. Shuttle buses haul runners from the finish area and event parking in Dahlgren to the start line, so you only have to run one direction — forward.

While we hand out cool awards for our top overall and Masters (50+) finishers, the real prize is the experience: quirky aid stations stocked with pie, s’mores, Peeps, soft pretzels, and other culinary curveballs you won’t find at Boston or Berlin.

Finishers earn swag they’ll actually use — an insulated Sheetz travel mug, free soda or coffee, a sweat towel, reusable race cup, doughnuts and other snacks, and a drawstring bag to haul it all home. You won't earn a drawer medal -- the travel mug you can use daily serves as your finisher medal!

Note: With the exception of trained service animals, dogs are not permitted to run as part of this event.
