About
This unique trail race starts and finishes at Drake Well Museum and Park in Titusville, PA utilizing the Gerard Hiking Trail in Oil Creek State Park.
All proceeds from the event benefit Friends of Drake Well, Inc., the non-profit organization which partners with the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission in the administration of Drake Well Museum and Park.
The 5 and 13 mile “Stacked” Trail Races offer runners an exciting twist in racing: the “Stack”. The race start times are staged or "stacked" 90 minutes apart with the 5 miler starting first. This allows the possibility of running one or both races consecutively! There will be finisher’s awards for each race distance. The twist is that there will be additional finishers awards for those runners who are able to complete both races for a quickest “stacked” finish time. However, you will need to bring your A game as there is a strict 90 minute cutoff for those 5 mile runners attempting both race distances.
