About the Event

Celebrate Earth Day Weekend with us at the Pennypack Trust! Bring the whole family and join us for the 8th Annual Earth Day Trail Race. All proceeds benefit PERT's efforts to protect open space and maintain our current 950+ acres of land. You can choose to run/walk 10K, 5K, or 1 mile. Please sign up and secure your spot!

For the Family: This year's 1-mile course will be transformed into a "Tale Trail" by our friends at the Southampton Library! A special Story Stroll will be the perfect motivation to get those kiddos to the finish line. It will be fun for kids and adults alike!

Course: A scenic, rolling hills course on grass and gravel that is great for both beginners and “seasoned” trailblazers.  The courses begin and end at the headquarters. Since this is a run on nature’s trails, the course will be as close to 1 mile and 5K and 10K as we can get! No dogs or pets.

Race Results: The race will be professionally timed by the Bryn Mawr Racing Co. Results will be found at http://www.brynmawrracing.com
 
Giveaways: Your race entry fee includes a race t-shirt! Guarantee your size by 3/31/25. Refreshments and prizes after the race. Children 12 and under are free.

Our Mission Statement/other info:  Founded in 1970, the mission of the Pennypack Ecological Restoration Trust is to steward the Pennypack Preserve natural area as an important component of the region’s natural areas network, and to educate and encourage people to enjoy and protect the preserve’s native ecosystems. This 7th annual trail run/walk will help protect the 950+ acres of open space the Pennypack Preserve encompasses.  Thank you for supporting PERT’s efforts.

Pets are not welcome on the Preserve or at the race. No Dogs.
