Description

Cameron County Galaxy Festival

Take a break from the every day hustle and bustle and come experience life in small town America in the heart of the PA Wilds. Run with us during the day while enjoying some of the most amazing night skies in the evening! With an event for everyone, this is a weekend you don't want to miss! This is the perfect weekend runcation!

Traditional events include a 5k, 10k, and half marathon. Additionally, we are teaming up with Rich Valley Wines to bring you a beer garden that will feature local craft beer, wine, and hand crafted cocktail's from local distilleries.

Looking for something a little different? We will also be having a beer/wine mile run. We are still working out the details but your experience will include drinking a cup of beer or wine during an out and back run.

There's still more!

A fun, non-timed 1 mile glow run/walk will also take place on the railtrail in the evening that will be a blast for all ages. After a day of races and/or adventuring through the town, join us for a fun evening with music and glow sticks as we enjoy the beautiful night sky!

Feeling adventurous? Complete the Wanderstar Challenge! Make it a full running weekend by completing the 5k, 10k, and half marathon.
