Prepare to challenge your limits at the Two Face 10K, returning to the scenic North Park in Wexford, PA, on August 1, 2026. This unique event offers runners a choice: tackle a swift 10K Road Race, brave a challenging 10K Trail Race, or embrace the ultimate "Two Face Challenge" by conquering both. Starting and finishing in the upper parking lot of Olympia Shelter, typical race day conditions feature highs around 83°F and lows near 64°F, with a 16% chance of precipitation, often bringing a characteristic Western Pennsylvania humidity that truly tests resolve.

The road course promises a rolling and fast experience, beginning with a beautiful early morning loop around North Park Lake, offering picturesque views and glimpses of local wildlife like herons and bald eagles. In contrast, the "10K(ish)" trail course, actually closer to 7.2 miles, lives up to its reputation as "Tough Hilly Single Track for Everyone." Runners face a grueling 1-mile ascent up a technical section of the red trail, followed by approximately 4.5 miles of rolling rocks, roots, and varied elevation, including steep climbs and fast descents through treacherous rock gardens. Aid stations are strategically placed, with two on the road course offering water and Gatorade, and three on the trail course providing water, Gatorade, GU, trail mix, M&M's, fruit gummies, cola, ginger ale, and ice, with menstrual products also available.

Beyond the challenging courses, the Two Face 10K is renowned for its vibrant atmosphere and supportive community. As a Trail Sisters Approved race, it ensures equal podiums, women's specific swag, and comprehensive support for all female participants. After pushing your boundaries, celebrate your accomplishment with fellow runners at the post-race festivities, featuring Tim Wu's Famous Shaved Ice and refreshing beer from Dancing Gnome Brewing. This annual August tradition is more than just a race; it's an exhilarating test of endurance and a memorable experience in the heart of North Park.
