Day Of Race Registration 
Race registration for the day of the race is only available from 6:30 am to 7:40 am at the Hollidaysburg Diamond (corner of Montgomery and Allegheny Streets). 

COURSE INFORMATION:
10K RUN: The 10k course begins in the Diamond and stays in the Borough of Hollidaysburg.

This 6k course begins in the Diamond and stays in the Borough of Hollidaysburg. Just like the 10k, the run takes off down Allegheny St and returns on Walnut St through Historic Hollidaysburg and continues around the High School, Tiger Stadium, and the Junior High before going up over Union St and turning at the Blair County Courthouse to return to the Diamond, a unique course to show off the Borough!


5K WALK: The 5k walk begins in the Diamond and stays in the Borough of Hollidaysburg. The walk takes off down Allegheny St and returns on Walnut St through Historic Hollidaysburg and continues around High School and Tiger Stadium before going up over Union St and turning at the Blair County Courthouse to return to the Diamond, a true walking tour of the Borough!
