Chase the Cougar 5K 2026

Chase the Cougar 5K is a Saturday morning 5K run/walk held at the Somerset Historical Center in Somerset, Pennsylvania. It begins at 9:00 AM. Race-day registration is available at the Historical Center prior to the start. The entry fee includes a t-shirt for those who preregister. The race features a cross country course designed by Dave Mapes, making it a grass-and-trail school-team fundraiser rather than a typical downtown road 5K. Proceeds benefit the North Star Cross Country team. Same-day sign-up is permitted. Awards will be presented to the top male and female finishers in both the run and walk categories. Age groups range from under 12 to 70+.
