From the Organizer
Explore the scenic Glenroy Preserve trails at the fourth annual Kettle Cooker Five & Dime on October 4th, 2026 presented by Herr's Snacks and Altra Running, along with many local sponsors! It takes a village!
Glenroy Preserve is a beautiful outdoor playground that also happens to be rich in history. Some of the trails will take you through parts of the Underground Railroad, while even running past a tavern that was said to have served patrons during the Civil War.
Each distance is a loop. All distances will follow the same course, however the 5 mile runners will split around mile 4 to the finish. ALL distances offer plenty of hills, creek crossings, mixed terrain, and plenty of on-course support. The 50K is two loops of the 25K.
You should wear trail shoes for this race, as there are numerous creek crossings and mixed terrain to traverse. Your feet WILL get wet and trail shoes offer the best drainage and traction.
Start time is 8:00am for ALL distances. Course closes at 5pm, which offers a generous cut-off time for the 50K.
Registered runners will enjoy:
- Entry to the 5 mile, 25K, or 50K trail race
- Chip timing
- Soft race tee
- Water and nutrition on course at all four (4) aid stations
- A complimentary beer post race (21+)
- Post race snacks, food, and music
Pre-race packet pickup:
Saturday, October 3 from 12-3pm at Lola's 57 S. 3rd St., Oxford, PA.
Please note: Race registration closes on October 2, and there will be NO race day registration or packet pick up. Please plan to pick up your packet prior to the race.
