Recurring 5K races near York-Hanover, PA

Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly

Snack Town RunFest 2026

About 5K races in York-Hanover, PA

York-Hanover Training Notes

York-Hanover, PA hosts 107 5K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.

Locals run the Heritage Rail Trail when they want steady base miles without much fuss. The 27-mile Heritage Rail Trail County Park runs north from the Mason Dixon line through Glen Rock, Hanover Junction, Seven Valleys, the Howard Tunnel, and York City. Seven Valleys gives runners mile markers, flat ground, farmland, and Codorus creek nearby. Cousler Park gets plenty of local laps, and John Rudy Park and York Township Park handle paved days. York Road Runners Club keeps the scene connected. Medal Madness, Hope 5K Run/Walk, THE LAST ONE STANDING, and the 28th Annual Rail Trail 10-Miler give runners anchor races.

Locals ride the York County Heritage Rail Trail for easy Z2, gravel/dirt mixture, and a clean link to Maryland’s 20-mile Torrey C. Brown Trail. Hanover Cyclers has been around since 1974, and the club runs year-round rides from 10 to 100 miles. Hanover Cyclers rides in surrounding areas of Hanover, Gettysburg, East Berlin, and Carroll and Frederick Counties in Maryland. The climbs are out there, and the terrain goes from gently rolling to steep hills. The Horse Farm Tour in May and the Labor Day Century in September feel like anchor events. Pennsylvania Interscholastic Cycling League adds more bike culture.

May and September are the best months because runners and riders get strong weather for intervals, long rides, and race sharpness. Summer brings the 4th of July Shoe House Shuffle, and the race includes Kona Ice with registration. Locals pre-register by June 15th when they want the guaranteed shirt, and race day registration stays cash or Venmo only. Cousler Park, John Rudy Park, York Township Park, and the rail trail all stay useful for warm base miles. Cousler Park hosts 1M runs and Hanover Cyclers runs Christmas light rides, night rides, and steady club miles.
