Recurring Half Marathon races near York-Hanover, PA
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.
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.
Baltimore Running Festival Half Marathon
The Baltimore Running Festival Half Marathon is a road race held in Baltimore, Maryland, as part of the larger Baltimore Running Festival. The event is scheduled for a Saturday in October, offering participants a fall race-day experience within a larger festival rather than a standalone half marathon.
The course details provided are limited. It is described as a half marathon on Baltimore roads, but specific neighborhood routes or elevation information are not available. RaceEntry currently shows no runner reviews, offering little public insight into crowd support, organization, or the overall course atmosphere.
End of the Road Half Marathon & One Tunnel 4 Miler
At End of the Road in Waterfall, Pennsylvania, runners use the abandoned Pennsylvania Turnpike instead of a typical road course. The series takes place in October and includes a Half Marathon and a One Tunnel 4 Miler, with a two-day challenge for those racing both events. The appeal is straightforward and unusual: extended sections of vacant highway, dark turnpike tunnels, and autumn foliage on the ridges surrounding the old road.
The half marathon covers approximately five miles within Sidling Hill and Ray's Hill Tunnels, two lengthy tunnels where participants use headlamps and glow sticks because of the absence of artificial lighting. Beyond the tunnels, the course follows quiet, old pavement and undulating rural roads on a highway bypassed decades ago and left without vehicle traffic for almost fifty years. The 4 Miler offers newer runners, walkers, and those progressing from a 5K a shorter option to experience the abandoned tunnel environment without completing 13.1 miles.
Medal Madness 5K, 10K,13.1M & 26.2M at Harrisburg, PA (44)
Strasburg Half Marathon & 5K
Gobbler 5K, 10K, & 13.1M at Biglerville, PA (45)

Registration is managed via RunSignup; no race-day sign-ups are available at the location.
The race setup is straightforward. Packet pickup begins shortly before the start. Runners should proceed to Pavilion 4, located on the left side of the parking lot upon entering the park. The 5K course involves completing a 1.56-mile out-and-back segment twice. The 10K requires four repetitions of this segment, and the half marathon uses a 2.18-mile out-and-back course repeated six times. The event has a 3-hour and 30-minute time limit, emphasizing a looped course design over a point-to-point route.
NCR Marathon & Half Marathon
Race 13.1 Baltimore Half Marathon, 10K & 5K
Race 13.1 Baltimore begins and ends at Canton Waterfront Park, offering half marathon, 10K, and 5K races on the same morning. The half marathon and 10K start first, with the 5K following soon after. The weather is typically cold, averaging between 30°F and 50°F, creating an early-winter running atmosphere.
The course follows the waterfront for a significant portion, winding through the Inner Harbor and historic Fells Point. It is largely flat, with some inclines in Fells Point. The half marathon can attract up to approximately 2,000 participants. The event focuses on practicality, featuring well-supplied aid stations, course marshals, live text results post-race, and numerous food and beverage options near the start-finish area on the waterfront.
Holiday 5K, 10K, & 13.1M at Biglerville, PA (49)

About Half Marathon races in York-Hanover, PA
York-Hanover Training Notes
York-Hanover, PA hosts 24 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 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.
