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.

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.
