About the Event

Experience the Gettysburg Festival of Races, held from April 24-25, 2027.

Saturday’s event kicks off with a challenging Abraham Lincoln 5K on April 24. On Sunday, choose from three distinct courses: the Gettysburg North-South 10K, the Gettysburg Blue-Gray Half Marathon, or the Lincoln 5K. Participants who run multiple races will receive an exclusive Abraham Lincoln Gettysburg Address Medal.
The festival offers a unique opportunity to engage with local vendors at its health and fitness expo on April 24 from 1:00 PM to 7:00 PM. Packet pick-up is available the day before, on Friday, April 23, between 3:00 PM and 6:00 PM.
Race through terrain that holds stories of the past while enjoying a blend of natural beauty and historical significance. Whether you're running for personal bests or simply relishing in the atmosphere, this event promises an experience unlike any other.

About Gettysburg

Learn more about the host city, Gettysburg.

Gettysburg, in Adams County in Pennsylvania Dutch Country, goes down in history as the battlefield in the Civil War where, despite terrible tragedy and loss of life, there was hope for the Union. In many ways, Gettysburg is where the North won the Civil War, and where Abraham Lincoln gave the Union hope that, somehow, something good was to come out of the lives lost in battle.
