Dirty Kiln Trail Races At Canoe Creek

Hollidaysburg, United States • 11 Apr 2026

Dirty Kiln Trail Races at Canoe Creek, now in its 13th running, is staged by Allegheny Trailrunners, Inc. at Canoe Creek State Park near Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania. Runners can select Short Course (about 10K) or Long Course (half-marathon). The courses mix wide paths, winding singletrack, stream crossings and plenty of mud, with the shorter route climbing Moore’s Hill and circling the lake, and the longer course looping the park a second time for added elevation and challenge. The event relies on volunteers and raises money for charities; two aid stations are positioned around the lake and field areas, and maps are available on the organizers’ site.
