Recurring Half Marathon races near Gettysburg
Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly
Snack Town RunFest 2026
Snack Town RunFest takes place in Hanover, Pennsylvania, offering several distances rather than a single main event. The available races include a chip-timed half marathon, 10K, and 5K, along with a 5K Corporate Challenge and a Kids Fun Run for participants aged 4 to 12. The event occurs in early October, organized by the Hanover Area YMCA and supported by partners Utz Brands, Inc. and WellSpan Health.
The half marathon covers approximately 13.11 miles on a single-loop course, and the 5K is about 3.11 miles, also on a single loop. This format attracts a variety of participants: half marathoners, shorter-distance runners, corporate teams, families, and children who can race themselves instead of just observing. A local tradition is the Beer Bash on George, featuring craft breweries as part of the post-race activities.
Cumberland Valley TrailFest
The 20th Cumberland Valley TrailFest is centered at Shippensburg Station, a key location for this long-standing event. It is a vital part of the Cumberland Valley Race Series, a yearlong competition with events throughout the Cumberland Valley, connecting runners with the region's expansive trail network. This milestone edition is presented by the Cumberland Valley Rails-to-Trails Council.
All events begin and conclude at Shippensburg Station, located at the corner of Fort and. Runners will follow routes curated by the Rails-to-Trails Council, embracing the unique characteristics of converted railway lines. This gathering marks two decades of fostering outdoor activity along the valley's scenic paths.
Haunted 5K, 10K, 13.1M at York, PA (41)
The Haunted 5K, 10K, and 13.1M in York, Pennsylvania, utilizes repeated short out-and-back segments originating from 1060 Church Road. The distance is determined by the number of repetitions. This event is a Halloween-themed US Road Running race suitable for runners and walkers, offering 5K, 10K, and half marathon distances that commence in the morning.
The 5K course involves two out-and-back repetitions, the 10K requires four, and the half marathon uses an extended out-and-back section repeated six times. The race has a time limit of 3 hours and 30 minutes. Participants must register in advance via RunSignup. Consistent with the US Road Running format, the event includes themed race logos, finisher medals, awards, series points, and a best costume contest.
Freedom's Run
Freedom's Run ties its races to places where Civil War history is part of the ground underfoot: Harpers Ferry, Antietam, and the surrounding region. The series includes a May Harpers Ferry Half & 5K and an October Freedom's Run event, with distances ranging from a full marathon and half marathon to a 10K, 5K, and Kids Fun Run.
The Harpers Ferry races run inside Harpers Ferry National Park, while the longer Freedom's Run routes connect runners with historic sites in and around the area. One runner remembered entering Antietam in cold rain, with mist rising from wet earth and the field going quiet as the group ran together. The series also links to Two Rivers Treads, a local running store with a foot-first approach to shoes and gait, and it raises money for a community grant fund supporting local health and community projects.
Fleet Feet Half Marathon
The Fleet Feet Half Marathon is a fall half marathon held at John Rudy Park in York, Pennsylvania. The race begins at 8:00 a.m., sponsored by HOKA, and offers participants three and a half hours to complete the 13.1-mile course.
The course begins and ends within the park, utilizing the York Heritage Rail Trail for the majority of the run. Following the race, participants can find refreshments at the Eastern Hemlock pavilion, where awards will be presented to the top three male and female finishers in age categories ranging from 19 and under to 80 and over. Every finisher will receive a custom shirt and medal. Additionally, Fleet Feet provides a training program with weekday sessions in Mechanicsburg and Saturday runs originating from City Island.
End of the Road Half Marathon & One Tunnel 4 Miler
End of the Road takes runners onto the abandoned Pennsylvania Turnpike near Waterfall, Pennsylvania. The main attractions are miles of old highway and long, dark tunnels. This October race weekend includes a half marathon and the One Tunnel 4 Miler, offering runners a choice between 13.1 miles or a shorter route that still passes through tunnels. The 4 Miler is also suitable for walkers and less experienced runners seeking a distance beyond a 5K but less than a half marathon.
The half marathon features approximately five miles of tunnel running, followed by rolling rural roads, quiet pavement, mountain vistas, and peak autumn foliage. Runners will go through two turnpike tunnels illuminated by headlamps and glow sticks. This section runs on a road that was bypassed when traffic was rerouted from the old highway. The weekend also presents challenge options: the Road Rambler Challenge consists of two half marathons over consecutive days, while the Tunnel Traveler Challenge combines the half marathon with the 4 Miler. A pre-race Movie Night on the Turnpike enhances the vintage road ambiance.
Medal Madness 5K, 10K,13.1M & 26.2M at Harrisburg, PA (44)

The format provides participants with a choice between a longer trail effort, a middle-distance run, and a shorter option. EX2 Adventures also organizes adventure racing and triathlon events, placing the series within the region's wider outdoor endurance calendar.

About Half Marathon races in Gettysburg
Gettysburg Base Miles
Gettysburg hosts 25 Half Marathon races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.
Locals run Gettysburg National Military Park when they want steady base miles with monuments, stone walls, and wide fields around them. Gettysburg Battlefield has paved roads with gentle rolling terrain that's moderately challenging. Small town streets and quiet country roads make easy Z2 loops feel connected without getting dull. Gettysburg Running Club, based at Gettysburg College, keeps the scene supportive for runners of all levels. The Gettysburg Festival of Races is the anchor event, and Gettysburg Brewfest & Trail 5K, Adams County Winery Haunted Wine Run 5k, and the Memorial Day Free 5K keep the calendar moving.
Gettysburg National Military Park is the default ride when locals want paved roads, steady views, and no fuss. Riders keep bikes on paved park roads and avenues, walk pedestrian walks and trails, and skip the National Cemetery and Annex. Emmitsburg Road Loop and Big Round Top Climb handle the bigger efforts, while Culp's Hill Ride and Taneytown Road Trail stay popular for shorter spins. The park roads total 1 km with 1,337 m of elevation. The Gettysburg Loop Tour gives cyclists a real anchor ride in October.
Late April gives Gettysburg runners cool mornings and mild afternoons, so the Festival of Races lands in a sweet spot. June brings the wettest month, so locals start early and keep intervals honest. Summer riding stays best on park roads, Battlefield Route laps, and farm loops before the heat builds. Winter averages 6 °C and brings cool to moderately cold days with relatively frequent snowfalls. Gravel riders treat state game lands differently then, because those roads can be gated to cars out of season and do not promise winter maintenance.
