Lace up your running shoes for the scenic Levee Loop Trail Race, returning to East Stroudsburg, PA, on June 6, 2026. This popular event offers both a 10K and a 5K distance, along with a fitness walk, providing an accessible challenge for runners and walkers of all levels. The race is a cherished local tradition, known for its commitment to supporting the Stroud Area Trails and Greenways, with proceeds dedicated to building and maintaining these vital community resources.

The Levee Loop Trail itself is a picturesque 4.5-mile course that winds along the beautiful Brodhead Creek, offering open views of the water interspersed with charming wooded sections and open meadows. Runners will experience a varied but generally flat terrain, transitioning between grass, gravel, and paved sections, with some light inclines and a few uneven stretches, particularly between Creekview Park and Stokes Mill Park. With a minimal elevation gain, it's often described as easy on the knees, making it ideal for those seeking a smooth and enjoyable trail experience. The start and finish lines are conveniently located at Dansbury Park, a central hub for the event.

Beyond the beautiful course and supportive atmosphere, the Levee Loop Trail Race offers a unique post-race treat: your race bib grants you entry to the Dansbury Pool for a "Levee Splash" cool-down (weather permitting). Typical race day conditions in early June boast pleasant highs around 77°F and comfortable lows near 54°F, with only a 20% chance of precipitation, creating an inviting environment for a memorable race day.
