This engaging event, held at 180 Forest Road, is renowned for its welcoming atmosphere and is ideal for those new to trail running or looking for a well-supported outing. The course features a GPS-measured 5K loop that runners will complete once for the 5K (also offered as an untimed walk) or twice for the 10K. You'll navigate well-groomed grass dog training trails, encountering long climbs that reward with scenic views at their peak, followed by exhilarating descents. Approximately 90% of the course is on unpaved trails, with a starting elevation of 394 feet and a high point of 500 feet, providing a manageable yet satisfying challenge.

The Training Grounds Trail Run promises a race day experience focused on runner comfort and community spirit. Typical race day conditions in mid-March include highs around 51°F and lows near 30°F, with a minimal 11% chance of precipitation, ensuring a brisk and enjoyable run, rain or shine. A conveniently located water station on the loop course allows for multiple hydration opportunities. Beyond the trails, the event offers practical amenities like bathroom facilities and a wash hose. The Northern Lancaster County Game & Fish Association has hosted this event since 2021, fostering a friendly environment that also includes a kids fun run, post-race raffles, and delicious chicken BBQ available for purchase. Parking is available in stone or grass areas, with registration and bib pickup opening at 8:00 AM for a 9:30 AM race start.
