Next Away Game: Shartlesville Gamelands on 6/14/26

This month’s Away Game will take us to northern Berks County: we’ll be meeting at the Shartlesville Gamelands Parking Lot (at the end of Northkill Rd) at 8 a.m. on Sunday, June 14.

The route will be a mix of gravel roads and single-track trail, totaling about 10 miles. Shorter options will be possible.

Next Away Game: Wissahickon on 5/16/26

This month’s Away Game will take us to the crown jewel of Philadelphia’s park system: Wissahickon Valley Park!

We’ll meet at the Wigard Avenue Trailhead, off Henry Ave in Roxborough (not too far from Dallesandro’s Steaks!) at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, May 16 for a casual, group run of about 10-12 miles (with shorter options for those who want to do less).

Post-run lunch spot and route will be announced on the Facebook event, where you can also post other questions, carpooling requests, etc.

Hope you can join us!

Next Away Game: Buzzard on 4/18/26

This month’s Away Game will feature the iconic “Baby Buzzard” course, north of Hershey. This is the most challenging group run that we do each year: 16 tough miles in the mountains with a ton of climbing and a “non-trivial” water crossing. Bring nutrition, hydration, first aid, and a sense of adventure.

We’ll meet at the Buzzard Trailhead at 9 a.m. on Saturday, April 18.

Ambitious runners who want to tackle the Full Buzzard Marathon course (at their own risk) are welcomed to start with us as long as they are comfortable navigating the course on their own.

Post-run lunch spot will be at Snitz Creek Brewey in Annville. Follow the Facebook event for updates, carpooling requests, etc.

Hope you can join us!

Next Away Game: Horse-Shoe Trail on 3/29/26

Last month’s “Away Game” had to be converted into a road run due to lingering snow and ice on the trails, so this month we’re planning to do what we wanted to do last month on the Horse-Shoe Trail!

We’ll meet at the IronSpire Complex in Adamston for a group long run on Sunday, March 29, at 9:30 a.m.

The plan is to meet at IronSpire, then carpool to Charlie Crowell’s house in Plowville, and run back to IronSpire along the Horse-Shoe Trail. The total distance of the run will be about 14.5 miles, but runners can elect to be dropped off at a different starting point in order to shorten the distance. (10- and 7-mile options will be available.)

Updates will be posted on Facebook closer to the day of the run.

Post-run lunch spot will be at Columbia Kettle Works (which is right in the IronSpire Complex).

Hope you can join us!

Next Away Game: Horse-Shoe Trail on 2/14/26

The plan is to meet at IronSpire, then carpool to Charlie Crowell’s house in Plowville, and run back to IronSpire along the Horse-Shoe Trail. The total distance of the run will be about 14.5 miles, but runners can elect to be dropped off at a different starting point in order to shorten the distance. (10- and 7-mile options will be available.)
