Charlie Horse Trail Half-Marathon & Dirty Pony 5K

Mohnton, United States • 25 May 2025

The Charlie Horse Trail Half-Marathon and Dirty Pony 5K take place in Mohnton, Pennsylvania, primarily on the scenic Horse-Shoe Trail. The half-marathon offers a challenging mix of trail and road running, featuring single-track paths, country roads, and a rugged Plowville section with natural obstacles like rocks and mud. The Dirty Pony 5K covers the most difficult portion of the half-marathon course, providing a tough all-trail experience.

Both races support Berks County Special Olympics and include aid stations, finisher swag, and awards. Post-race festivities include food and beverages. The event limits half-marathon entries to 300 runners and enforces a 3-hour cutoff at mile 10. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
