Veterans Trail Festival presented by Flick Financial

Saturday, November 7, 2026Hookstown, PA5K – 50K

The RSMC and PA trail races offer a challenging and gnarly experience set within the scenic Raccoon Creek State Park in Pennsylvania. Participants in the 50K and 20-miler distances will navigate technical single-track trails filled with rocks, roots, and demanding thigh-burning hills. For those seeking a shorter challenge, the 5K and 1-mile routes provide an accessible out-and-back course suitable for both runners and walkers. Beyond the competition, the event serves a meaningful mission to support veteran and military service members through the Outdoor Immersion organization. Race day features a patriotic atmosphere with a presentation of Colors and stories from local veterans, followed by hospitality at the Recreation Hall. Whether you are tackling the rugged trails or joining the 5K, your participation helps foster community and resilience.
