About this race
The 16th Annual Gettysburg Festival of Races
Four races - Two days - One historic weekend
APRIL 24-25, 2027
Race just outside the hallowed grounds of the Gettysburg battlefield. The course winds through beautiful wooded back-country roads, past fields and farms, and across the historic Mason-Dixon line into Maryland and back.
New for 2027
Two new races join the weekend: the Abraham 5K on Saturday and the Gettysburg North-South 10K on Sunday. This year, uniformed soldiers will also be out supporting runners along the course, as well as at the finish line.
Stay right at the start line
Our official hotel is right at the start and finish. Room blocks for race participants are reserved at the Aspire Gettysburg and the Eisenhower Hotel. Both are part of the Eisenhower Conference Center, home to the expo, the pasta dinner, and the start and finish of every race.
• Free 2:00 PM late checkout when you book directly with the hotel (booking through a third-party site adds a late checkout charge)
• Complimentary continental breakfast with your room
• All-you-can-eat pasta dinner, Saturday at 6:00 PM in the Aspire Hotel Ballroom
• Room block held through April 10, 2027. After that, pricing and availability may change.
