Sheetz-to-Sheetz Trail Run

🏃‍♂️ Event Overview

Looking for a fun, slightly ridiculous, definitely memorable running challenge? You’ve found it!

📍 Race Details

The Sheetz-to-Sheetz Trail Run is a 14-mile, untimed point-to-point adventure benefiting local kids and other worthy causes. We start at one Sheetz, wind through farmland and forest, and finish at another Sheetz. Most of the route follows the Dahlgren Railroad Heritage Trail (DRHT), a flat, scenic rails-to-trails gem.

• Location: Start Line Sheetz, King George, VA
• Date: 2026-04-04
• Distance: 14 miles
• Shuttle Service: Shuttle buses haul runners from the finish area and event parking in Dahlgren to the start line.

🏅 Awards & Experience

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.

• Awards: Cool awards for top finishers
• Aid Stations: Unique snacks including pie and s'mores
• Experience: Memorable and quirky running experience
• Medal: Travel mug serves as your finisher medal!

🎁 Finisher Rewards

Finishers earn swag they’ll actually use — an insulated Sheetz travel mug, free soda or coffee, a sweat towel, reusable race cup, doughnuts and other snacks, and a drawstring bag to haul it all home. You won’t earn a drawer medal -- the travel mug you can use daily serves as your finisher medal!
