28th Annual Rail Trail 10-Miler

On August 22, 2026, the York Road Runners Club will hold the 28th annual Rail Trail 10-Miler to benefit The ARC of York and Adams Counties. 

The race starts at Liberty Christian Fellowship Church in Seven Valleys, Pennsylvania, and runs ten gentle, downhill miles one way north along the scenic York County Heritage Rail Trail, passing through the oldest operational train tunnel in the nation, and finishing just before the Rail Trail crosses Princess Street in downtown York, PA.

After the runners finish the course, post-race refreshments (including craft beer from Collusion Tap Works) and entertainment will take place at the Agricultural and Industrial Museum (directly across the street from the finish line).

Amenities:

Finisher Medal
Great post-race refreshments.
Craft beer (for runners over the age of 21) from Collusion Tap Works.
