Step Outdoors TRYathlon & 5K Trail Run/Walk
About this race
Online registration will officially close at Noon on Wednesday, Sept 16.
The event will be at Hills Creek State Park at 111 Spillway Road, Wellsboro, PA 16901, seven miles northeast of Wellsboro.
Those who want to solo can do all three legs of the TRYathlon or two or three people can form a team. The event also includes a 5K stand-alone option for runners and walkers who only want to do the 5K.
Race day registration will be available again this year starting at 8:30am on race day.
All runners and walkers, whether they are participating in the 5K only or all three legs of the Tryathlon will start at the same location and follow the same course on park roads and trails around the perimeter of Hills Creek Lake. The second leg of the Tryathlon is paddling a canoe or kayak around a 1.75-mile course identified with temporary markers on Hills Creek Lake. The event will end with bikers traveling 8 miles on a course of dirt and hardtop roads in and around the park.
