Step Outdoors 5K Trail Run/Walk

Step Outdoors TRYathlon & 5K

The Step Outdoors TRYathlon is an introductory multi-sport event held at Hills Creek State Park in Wellsboro, PA. The event emphasizes participation and teamwork by inviting teams of two or three or solo participants to complete running, paddling, and biking legs.

The routes use park roads, trails, and the lake shoreline. The running leg follows a mix of park roads and trails around the perimeter of the lake for a distance of five kilometers. The paddling leg consists of a course around temporary markers on the lake for about 1.75 miles. The biking leg covers roughly eight miles on a combination of hard top and dirt roads in and around the park. A stand-alone 5K option follows the same running course and starts at the same location as the TRYathlon.

Registration is capped at 150 participants. Recent planning indicates a return to in-person day-of registration while advance registration has been offered. Event shirts are guaranteed for those registered by September 1. Since 2015 there are no competition categories and all finishers receive recognition. The park landscape makes the event suitable for spectators as well as participants. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
