Slickville 5k Coal Mine Climb & 2 Mile Fun Walk

New Course for 2026!

• Change in Venue: Due to the pending reclamation of the former Slickville coal mounds, we will no longer be able to use those grounds as part of our Coal Mine Climb 5K.
• New Route: A new course has been selected which will still provide a challenging, hilly racecourse and uses most of the former course but in the opposite direction.
• Scenery: Runners and walkers will still be running/walking past the former mine site.
• Walking Options: Walkers will now have the option to choose between an easier and more challenging (and scenic) walking route.

Post-Race Celebration

• Complimentary Breakfast: After completing the run/walk, all participants will be treated to a complimentary pancake breakfast with locally sourced genuine maple syrup courtesy of the Slickville Community Church and Maple Lodge.
• Food Drive: Participants are asked to bring a canned good or other non-perishable item for donation to the Westmoreland County Food Bank.
• Early Registration: Be sure to sign up early to guarantee receipt of an event sports shirt in your preferred size.
