The D&H Distance Run benefits the resurfacing of the next ten miles of trail from Herrick
Center to Thompson. This 13.1 mile race will be an "out and back" run on the D&H Rail-Trail from
Forest City to Union Dale. The trail is basically flat, approximately 15 feet wide, and
recently resurface with fine crushed stone. There is a slight upgrade going northward and
a slight downgrade for the return and finish.
The run is a great tune-up for those training for the Steamtown Marathon and a great race
for those attempting longer distance runs.
No duplicate awards.
This year the field is limited to the first 325 registrants. Register as soon as possible.
