The event takes place at Glenroy Preserve in Nottingham, Pennsylvania, using preserved natural trails that pass through areas associated with the Underground Railroad and by a tavern reported to have served patrons during the Civil War. The races are held on October 4.
Distances offered:
- 5 Miles one loop, splits around mile 4 to the finish

All courses use mixed, sometimes technical terrain with rocky sections and multiple creek crossings. The 5 mile route includes three creek crossings; the longer distances include at least six. Organizers recommend trail specific running shoes for better traction and drainage.
