Step Outdoors TRYathlon & 5K Trail Run/Walk

Registration will officially close at 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept 15. T-shirt deadline is Sept 1 but shirts may be available after this date.  They are not guaranteed however. 

The event will be at Hills Creek State Park at 111 Spillway Road, Wellsboro, PA 16901, seven miles northeast of Wellsboro.

Those who want to solo can do all three legs of the TRYathlon or two or three people can form a team. The event also includes a 5K stand-alone option for runners and walkers who only want to do the 5K.

There is no in-person registration this year. Everything will be done online only and close on Wednesday, Sept 15 at 11:59pm. 

All runners and walkers, whether they are participating in the 5K only or all three legs of the Tryathlon will start at the same location and follow the same course on park roads and trails around the perimeter of Hills Creek Lake. The second leg of the Tryathlon is paddling a canoe or kayak around a 1.75-mile course identified with temporary markers on Hills Creek Lake. The event will end with bikers traveling 8 miles on a course of dirt and hardtop roads in and around the park.

A banner at the finish line will provide an opportunity for participants to take selfies or have someone take their photo.
