Hyner Half
The Hyner Half is a trail race held on August 22, 2026 in North Bend, PA, organized by PA Trail Dogs at Hyner Run State Park and on trails through Sproul State Forest. The event offers the following distances:
- 14 Miler
- 7K (about 4.5 miles)
The race is organized as a timed event with a strict six hour cut-off for the full 14-mile course. The selected trails include varied terrain and three aid stations located at mile 4, mile 8, and mile 11.5. The 7K follows the first 2.5 miles of the longer course, then returns to the park with a roughly 2 mile downhill finish; that route includes over 1,000 feet of elevation gain and about 1,000 feet of loss in 4.5 miles.
The event is open to runners and speed hikers only; course pacing consistent with the six hour limit is required. Hyner Run State Park has a swimming pool available for runners to use during the day. Registration for 2026 closed and the event is listed as sold out. The organizer states that there are no refunds, deferments, bib transfers, or unregistered entrants permitted.
