Corny 5k & 1 Mile Run/Walk

Lace up your sneakers for the uniquely charming Corny 5k & 1 Mile Run/Walk, taking place on Saturday, August 15, 2026, in the welcoming community of Claysville, PA. This event offers both a 5K and a 1 Mile Run/Walk, making it ideal for runners and walkers of all ages and abilities. The course is situated on the Claysville Rail Trail, promising a generally flat and scenic experience as you "husk your way" through the harvest season atmosphere.

What truly makes the Corny 5k stand out is its heartwarming mission: all proceeds go towards the restoration of the century-old First Lutheran Church, which celebrates its centennial in 2026. Participants are encouraged to embrace the "a-mazingly corny" theme by donning their most creative and "corniest attire" for a day filled with family-friendly fun, laughter, and strong community spirit. Expect overall awards for the top three male and female 5K finishers, along with "corny gifts" for age group winners.

As you enjoy the festivities, typical race day conditions in mid-August often bring comfortable highs around 82F and lows around 62F, with only a 15% chance of precipitation. This premier community event, starting at the National Pike Trail, promises a memorable experience whether you're chasing a personal best or simply enjoying a leisurely stroll with family and friends.
