FOR 2024, THE 47TH RUNNING

The LIVE race course is the same as the 2023 course. It runs mostly in the City of York, with a short out and back on the beautiful section of the Heritage Rail Trail north of the city. In brief, the course will wind through the city for three miles (including Farquhar Park) and then cross George St onto the new section of the Heritage Rail Trail, run approximately 1 mile out to the turnaround, and finish at the usual spot on Beaver St north of Philadelphia St. The start and venue will remain at the White Rose Bar and Grill. You can view the 2024 course map HERE [https://www.strava.com/routes/3259503819729448876?_branch_match_id=1305842647922347112&_branch_referrer=H4sIAAAAAAAAA8soKSkottLXLy4pSixL1EssKNDLyczL1vcvSXVMcrL0MfNJAgA92JC9IwAAAA%3D%3D]!

The VIRTUAL race is anywhere/anytime between September 1 and September 30, 2024. You can run anywhere/anytime during the time period, including course maps from previous years. Just run/walk five miles. Once you finish your virtual race, you can upload your results on this site.

And you can be a VOLUNTEER. With the race running through the city, we need many volunteers, and all volunteers will receive a race t-shirt exactly like the runners shirts, along with a good feeling that you are helping a good cause. Most positions allow for easy social distancing and all COVID-19 precautions.
