Course Information

The Sheetz-to-Sheetz™ Trail Run starts at one Sheetz, winds through farmland and forest, and finishes at another Sheetz. Most of the route follows the Dahlgren Railroad Heritage Trail (DRHT), a flat, scenic rails-to-trails gem.

• Transport: Shuttle buses haul runners from the finish area and event parking in Dahlgren to the start line.
• Route: You only have to run one direction — forward.
• Experience: A fun, engaging atmosphere along the course.
• Landscape: Scenic views through farmland and forest.

Awards and Swag

While we hand out cool awards for our top overall and Masters (50+) finishers, the real prize is the experience: quirky aid stations stocked with pie, s’mores, Peeps, soft pretzels, and other culinary curveballs you won’t find at Boston or Berlin.

• Finishers' swag: Earn an insulated Sheetz travel mug.
• Included items: Free soda or coffee, a sweat towel, reusable race cup, doughnuts, and other snacks.
• Unique medal: The travel mug you can use daily serves as your finisher medal!
• No drawer medals: Instead, enjoy practical and fun rewards.

Additional Information

Note: With the exception of trained service animals, dogs are not permitted to run as part of this event.
