We are proud to support as many charitable causes as part of our mission to help improve people's lives in any way possible. Our charitable donations strategy is to work closely with the permit agencies (municipal, state or private party) and ask them what organizations need financial support for their non-profit activities. A core part of our business mission is to try and help make the world a better place for all people.

We have donated to numerous organizations, including local fire departments, townships, conservation organizations, human relief organizations and most importantly, to organizations that help children in need. After we make sure that our commitments to local organizations are met or exceeded, our favorite national organization is Turnaround Arts. Turnaround Arts works to ensure that every child in America has access to an education rich in the arts. We are happy to contribute as much as possible to Turnaround Arts.

We are happy to partner with the Ohiopyle-Stewart Volunteer Fire Department for this race. 

The race is a Boston Qualifier race: Certificate # PA22009NP with link to certification map.

 The marathon is two loops of the half marathon course. Click/tap here for link to mapmyrun.

The 5K goes out 1.55 miles from the start and turns around to go back to the finish line.
The 10K goes out 3.1 miles from the start and turns around to go back to the finish line.

The course is 100% hard packed trail. You don't need trail running shoes. Your regular racing shoes are fine. The trail is evenly topped with crushed limestone. Online, it says, "It is relatively smooth and easy to pedal, run, or hike." I've ridden my bike on it the last 2 years to set up the course and it was a smooth ride. When walking on various parts of the course, I didn't find any loose pebbles getting caught in my shoes.

There will be aid stations with water and Gatorade about every two miles.
