Redman 9 miler
The Redman 9 miler is a trail race in York, PA, run around Lake Redman on a mostly single track route. The course climbs a cumulative total of about 1,200 feet and crosses under Interstate 83 twice; both tunnel crossings often carry water ankle deep and the second crossing (about 50 yards) requires ducking for clearance.
There is one aid station located just before the halfway point, stocked with water, Gatorade, performance candy and other quick energy items. Time cutoffs apply: 2 hours to the aid station (4 miles) and 4.5 hours to the finish cutoff. Race day bib pickup is available.
The event is part of the YRRC Trail Series, so current YRRC members who run are eligible for series points. A finisher item is awarded to all finishers; top three men and top three women receive premium awards. Post-race food is served in the pavilion, and if at least 60 participants register, brisket may be provided.
New for 2026 are a Ruck division, which requires a minimum of 10 pounds of carried weight, and an award for best Ugly Christmas Sweater judged before the race. If park trails are closed the event will convert to a virtual format with no refund; awards and finisher coins will still be presented.
Well mannered leashed dogs are welcome under park rules and owners must clean up after them. Participants are asked to wear orange or other bright clothing and to be courteous to other trail users. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
