Tame the Tower Trail Challenge

The Tame the Tower Trail Challenge is scheduled for December 12, 2026 at Governor Dick Park, 33283 Pinch Rd, Lebanon, PA 17064. The event features trail running on local mountain paths near Mt. Gretna and uses park trails for both distances.

Two distances are offered:

  • 5 miles trail
  • 10 miles trail

Entry fees vary by postmark date. Early postmarked rates apply through November 1, 2026; higher rates apply after that date and on race day. Early registrants receive a winter beanie while supplies last. Online registration is available through a race registration platform. Race registration and number pickup occur at Governor Dick Park on race day.

Awards include cash prizes for the top overall male and female in each distance, and recognition for top finishers in each age group. Finish-line timing and results are provided by Pretzel City Sports and posted after the event.

One hundred percent of race proceeds are designated for park support, including trail maintenance, park safety measures, and the education center. Past improvements funded by the event include a new water fountain and a mud kitchen used by local children. Parking is available at Governor Dick Park and nearby areas. Pets are not permitted to run in the event. A signed waiver is required and photographs taken at the event may be used for park promotions without attaching personal names.
