Organiser's Description
_RUN WHERE ITS LEVEL!_
FNLT is proud to be back with the 14TH SASQUATCH PRESERVATION 5K & 10K TRAIL RUN held at the amazing, FNLT preserved SOUTH BRANCH FARMS. The Sasquatch is chip timed and the start for BOTH RACES is 9:00 AM on Saturday, September 6, 2025.
The Sasquatch is a great trail run for beginners to advanced runners all about having fun and supporting FNLTs land preservation across York County! Is it tough? That depends who you ask as tough as you want to make it be!
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 and 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 has climbs including OVER the historic Howard Tunnel / Rail Trail. Both runs cross the Codorus Creek near the finish. As course designer Rob Kinsley states, If youre not wet and dirty, youre disqualified!
After the race, participants can enjoy some great donated fun from our supporters, including a light lunch from Rockfish Hospitality, fruits from Flinchbaughs Orchard & Farm Market, and adult beverage sampling from Brewery Products (21+ with ID). Well have something special for the kids too, stay tuned.
