Even though the weather was terrible, it’s still hands down one of my favorite races.

You guys pulled off an awesome event on a very sketchy weather day.

I love the community aspect. Love, love, love seeing everyone at one race!

[Favorite part?] 10,000% the atmosphere - it’s so uplifting and fun!

I adore this race and all the people who work very hard to execute the day!

Everyone we came into contact with was fantastic.

The volunteers and energy out on the course were awesome - even in some pretty challenging conditions!

2021 survey feedback:

How amazing to experience a live race after a most dreadful year.  THANK YOU to all who were involved!

I will continue to preach the gospel of this race to all my friends and God-willing, as long as I am able to continue running, I will come.

I loved the trail, the vibe and the swag at this event!  I will definitely be back!

My favorite event of the year.

I loved the entire vibe of the race!  It’s my second year and I’ll be back.  It’s just a fun time!

It is one of my favorite events.  It is fun, relaxing and overall, a hoot!

Always a great vibe and the best goodies of any event.

It gets more and more amazing each year!

Rare to find a race like this one.

I enjoyed the atmosphere, the fact that it was well-planned and executed, and that there was a focus on inclusion.

The untimed nature made it very laid back… never been in an event like that.

2020 survey feedback:

One of the favorite events of my 20-year running career! Loved having the opportunity to explore a trail I’ve never been on before with a well-supported event. The trail side signs and volunteers at the intersections were wonderful. Can’t wait for next year!

Great trail run. Easy to get to, friendly volunteers. I will definitely keep my eye out for next year.

Awesome race! Swag bags were great, doughnuts amazing and the Sheetz manager was the nicest guy!

Everything was well-organized. It was my first trail run and was very challenging! Thanks for putting it together, it was a great experience.

I loved the mile-marker signs. The aid station s’more was so delicious. And the swag bag was a wealth of amazing googies. I also loved that it was low-key. It’s nice to just have a pressure-free semi-race with friends!

Great communications, nice swag, awesome atmosphere and support.

I loved the relaxed atmosphere, the charity for great organizations, the inclusion of Ainsley’s Angels and I loved how organized with great communication the event was. Loved everything about this event. First trail run and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I loved this trail - I’ll be back to explore more of the trail later.

I seriously thought it was all great! I especially loved the mugs, they are so nice! The post-race food and vouchers are great too!

It was well-organized, the volunteers were nice, the location was nice (and having indoor bathrooms at the start and finish was great), and I love the mug and coffee/donuts/food voucher. The trail was pretty and a little technical but not too hard.

The aid station was awesome! Police escort was an appreciated safety measure.

Loved the aid station! Enjoyed the signs at each mile - I looked forward to each one for the messages. Overall super well-run event!

For me, it’s a laid back, fun time with friends for a good cause! Plus the free MTO at the end doesn’t hurt either.

It’s a small event so you’re not worrying about crowded trail. I’ve done trail races before that were large and uncomfortable. This is a well put together community event. I like that it’s untimed and having less (no shirts or medals) it keeps the event and its purpose meaningful.

The volunteers and support were fantastic - I loved the atmosphere at Sheetz and the other businesses that gave their space/time to contribute. 100% I would run this race again.

2019 survey feedback:

I enjoyed it from beginning to end. I’m looking forward to running it next year.

Excellent instructions on attending, details via email/ social media etc. The course was well marked. I was blown away by the amount of swag at this event. Much more than most races I do and it was all useful stuff! I have no complaints it was a wonderful event and I’ll promote to others for sure!!

Loved the police Escort, the camaraderie and everyone was just so excited and happy!

It was like a neighborhood run, very social, no competition, very relaxed. Loved the postings every day on the FB page. Was something to look forward to.

Organization was great, beautiful trail, and friendly participants.

2018 survey feedback:

Very well organized. Loved the police escort on Rte. 3--made me feel safe and that I wasn't going to get hit. Loved that Sheetz donated the water stops, and I love that they gave us free coffee and food at the end!

Relaxed, no competitive pressure, good trail for an easy run.

It was a great chance to explore the trail for the first time with a group. The Sheetz freebies were also a plus :)
