Sidewinder

Get ready to elevate your running experience at the inaugural Sidewinder event in 2026, set in the stunning Montour Woods Conservation Area! This race isn't just about breaking a sweat; it's about making an impact with proceeds supporting the Hollow Oak Land Trust. With distances for every runner – a Half Marathon, 20 Mile, or the daring 50K – you're guaranteed a route that's both challenging and incredibly scenic. There's a place for volunteers too, who are the heartbeat of the race day magic! Think you've got what it takes? The course features the quintessential Western PA trails with a twist. Dive into segments like Liftoff, Orbit, and Final Approach, taking you from flowing downhills to rocky switchbacks, and past hidden gems like waterfalls and historic sites. No matter your chosen distance, you'll conquer significant vertical gains while being cheered on to a triumphant finish. Be part of something extraordinary – Sidewinder is calling your name!
