Lace up your running shoes for the Laurel View Village Que Classic on Saturday, September 26, 2026, a beloved event held amidst the stunning scenery of the Quemahoning Dam in Hollsopple, PA. This race has garnered a reputation as "the best fitness event in our region," drawing runners to its beautiful course and vibrant atmosphere year after year. Participants can choose from a challenging 10K Run, a popular 5K Run or Walk, or a scenic 1 Mile Walk, ensuring a distance for every ability, alongside a Kids Fun Run for the younger enthusiasts.
The Que Classic offers an engaging "out and back" course that unfolds along the picturesque Que Dam Road. The 5K and 1 Mile routes feature gentle hills alongside the water, providing a scenic and enjoyable experience. For those tackling the 10K, prepare for a more demanding journey with a downhill first half and a mostly uphill return, promising to test even seasoned runners. Typical race day conditions in late September offer ideal running weather, with historical highs around 68°F and lows around 51°F, and only a 13% chance of precipitation. Water and first aid stations will be available along the course to support all participants.
What truly sets the Que Classic apart is its exceptional race experience. Runners consistently praise the "exciting atmosphere, friendly volunteers, great food and awesome goodie bags." Upon crossing the finish line at Summers Best 2 Weeks (SB2W), participants are treated to a delicious post-race lunch featuring Fire House Turkey or Ham Subs, Gallikers beverages, and freshly made Pie Shoppe Cinnamon Rolls. Pre-registered runners will also receive a custom finisher's medal and a lightweight long-sleeve hoodie. With electronic chip timing and a reputation as "simply one of the best organized local road races," the Laurel View Village Que Classic promises an unforgettable day for the entire family.
