When was the last time you ran from one Sheetz to another? Your adventure starts at the King George Middle School Sheetz (Store #573) and finishes 14 miles later at the Dahlgren Sheetz (Store #259). The first 1.4 miles roll along the road before you hop onto the Dahlgren Railroad Heritage Trail (DRHT) for 12.6 flat, scenic miles through farmland and forest. Along the way, four fun, themed aid stations keep the good vibes going:
Mile 3.14: Pie & Water (Get it? Pi?)
Mile 6.2 (campsite): S’mores, Peeps, Rice Krispies Treats, Water, Dr. Raindrop Electrolyte, and Porta-johns
Mile 10.2 (Meadows neighborhood): Beef Jerky, Fruit Snacks & Water
Mile 12.4 (Little Ark Church): Homemade Soft Pretzel Nuggets, Water, Dr. Raindrop Electrolyte, and a Porta-john
“Definitely planning to make this a yearly must-do on my race calendar.”
🚌 Transportation
Remember — this is a point-to-point race so you’ll need to plan ahead a bit. Park at the King George Gateway Shopping Center (near the finish), where shuttle buses will whisk you 15 minutes to the start line. Hotels and post-race snacks are conveniently nearby.
After you finish, simply walk a quarter mile back to your car or hop aboard the Bayside Ford Courtesy Shuttle for a quick lift. If you must park near the start, use King George Middle School — but please, no parking at either Sheetz store or O’Reilly Auto Parts.
