Run for Autumn 5K 2026

The Run for Autumn 5K is a 5K run/walk in Ebensburg, Pennsylvania. It begins at the YPCC, 300 Prave Street, on the Ghost Town Trail. This race honors Autumn Danchanko, marking what would have been her 17th birthday. All proceeds benefit Camp Cadet, Autumn's Playground at Lion's Field, and Dauntless Fire Company. Participants can select the standard 5K, a Kids Fun Run, a virtual shirt option, or the 5K Pump & Run category. The out-and-back course starts on the Ghost Town Trail, proceeds toward Revloc, and finishes back at the YPCC. The Pump & Run event incorporates a bench press competition prior to the 5K. Performance is measured by repetitions against body-weight percentages, with each successful rep reducing the participant's final Pump & Run time by 30 seconds. The event also features children's activities, including a bounce house, and awards for the top male and female finishers. Prizes include $50 cash for the overall winners and age-group awards for participants from 1-12 to 60+.
