Jim Mayer Trail Family Fun Run

The Jim Mayer Trail Family Fun Run is a recreational sports event held in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. As part of the Cambria County Trails Series, the event takes place on the Jim Mayer Riverswalk Trail. The proceeds from the race are dedicated to the Friends of the Trails program, which supports the maintenance and expansion of trail networks within Cambria County.

The event features a single distance for participants:

5 km run/walk

The 5 km course is an out-and-back route that begins and ends in the Riverside area. Participants travel along a scenic section of the trail that parallels the Stonycreek River, reaching a turnaround point at Bridge Street before returning to the start. The path provides views of the local waterway throughout the activity.

Recognition is provided for top performers in the event. Placement medals are awarded to the top three male and female finishers in both the adult and youth categories. Additionally, registration for participants aged 17 and under is free of charge through a specific foundation donation. The event is open to both runners and walkers.
