The next Pagoda Pacer Long Run will take place on Saturday, March 16, at 9:30 a.m. The run will begin and end at Charlie Crowell’s residence (151 Alleghenyville Rd, Mohnton). The course will be an out-and-back run on the Horse-Shoe Trail. Run out for an hour (or as long as you want), and then turn around and head back! Like Dorothy, just follow the yellow-blazed trail!
Post-run refueling to follow at Stampede Barbecue on Morgantown Rd!
This group run is also an official training run for the Charlie Horse Trail Half Marathon! Don’t miss it!!

Good morning, I am just reading about this run. Is it possible to run this as a training run before the Charlie horse half ? If yes, where would I get the trail info? Is it available on AllTrails ? Thank you. I wish I would have seen this last month.

Hi, Della! Sorry you didn’t see this post until after the run. You can absolutely run this route as a training route on your own. The only tricky issue is parking. We parked at a club member’s house with his permission last month, but there isn’t a public trailhead nearby. Your best bet might be to park at Stampede Barbecue, which is less than 1/2 a mile from the trail. Just make sure that the restaurant is cool with it. If you get some barbecue after your run, I bet they won’t mind! The route was just an out-and-back on the Horse-Shoe Trail, which is blazed yellow. Here’s a link to the variation I’m recommending for you: https://www.alltrails.com/explore/map/map-april-5-2024-90610aa?u=i&sh=jhnqfx
