Organiser's Description
_-RUN WHERE ITS LEVEL-_
FARM & NATURAL LANDS TRUST OF YORK COUNTY is proud to celebrate the 15TH SASQUATCH PRESERVATION 5K & 10K TRAIL RUN, held at the amazing, permanently preserved South Branch Farms. The Sasquatch is chip-timed, and the start for BOTH RACES IS 9:00 AM ON SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 12.
Whether you're a weekend warrior or serious trail runner, The Sasquatch is all about getting dirty, having fun, and supporting FNLTs land preservation efforts across York County. Is the course tough? That depends on who you ask
Wild, Wild Life
Once featured as one of Runners World magazines Americas Top Trail Races, The Sasquatch is off-road (save for one safe road crossing) with cross-country trails on varied terrain and elevation through farmland, woods, pastures, and streams.
On the course, youll find bugs, birds, deer, turkeys, owls, foxes, coyotes, snakes and yes, sasquatches! The 10K features climbs including a trek OVER the historic Howard Tunnel / Rail Trail, and both runs cross the Codorus Creek near the finish.
As our OG course designer Rob Kinsley states: _If youre not wet and dirty, youre disqualified!_
