Half Marathon races near Hampton Township

The Buffalo Creek Half Marathon is a point-to-point fall race in western Pennsylvania, held on the third Saturday of October with a 9:00 AM EDT start. It begins in Cabot and follows the Butler Freeport Community Trail for most of its 13.1 miles. The course features crushed limestone underfoot for much of the route and a gentle downhill profile, suiting runners aiming for fast times. The finish is at the south end of the trail at the former Butler Junction, under the Highway 356 bridge over the Allegheny River. The race serves as the primary fundraiser for the Butler Freeport Community Trail Council, an all-volunteer nonprofit that supports the trail used by runners on race day.

The Armstrong County Turkey Trot is an annual race morning based at the Richard G. Snyder YMCA on North Water Street in Kittanning, Pennsylvania. It offers a half marathon, 5K, kids race for ages 10 and under, plus virtual half marathon and 5K options. The half marathon starts first at 9:00 a.m., followed by the 5K at 9:30 a.m. Miles of Smiles Timing Service organizes the event with the YMCA, so race-day basics stay centered inside the building: bathrooms, registration, and awards are all indoors. Every finisher gets a turkey medal, the top overall man and woman in the half marathon each receive a $50 cash prize, and age-group awards are given in both the half marathon and 5K. Water stops are set up on the course, water is available at the finish, and food is part of the post-race setup.
