Groundhog Jog

Lace up for a truly unique winter experience at the Groundhog Jog, taking place on Saturday, February 7, 2026, in the charming town of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. This annual 4-mile run/walk offers a memorable challenge, allowing participants to trek to the iconic Gobbler's Knob and back – the very spot where Punxsutawney Phil makes his famous Groundhog Day prediction.
