Organiser's Description

_ NEW COURSE FOR 2026! _

Due to the pending reclamation of the former Slickville coal mounds, we will no longer be able to use those grounds as part of our Coal Mine Climb 5K. A new course has been selected which will still provide a challenging, hilly racecourse and uses most of the former course but in the opposite direction. See below for the new course description and maps. Runners and walkers will still be running/walking past the former mine site. Also new in 2026, walkers will now have the option to choose between an easier and more challenging (and scenic) walking route. After completing the run/walk, all participants will be treated to a COMPLIMENTARY PANCAKE BREAKFAST with locally sourced genuine maple syrup courtesy of the Slickville Community Church and Maple Lodge. Participants are asked to bring a canned good or other non-perishable item for donation to the Westmoreland County Food Bank. Be sure to sign up early to guarantee receipt of an event sports shirt in your preferred size.

Registration is open on race day from 7:00 AM to 8:15 AM. The run/walk begins at 8:30 AM. An awards ceremony will follow around 9:30 but feel free to stay or come back later to check out the other events including a car show, craft and food booths, children's activities, a cow patty bingo and musical entertainment throughout the day and evening. A fireworks display will take place shortly after dark.
