WVS Fall Trail 5.5 Mile Run 2026

The WVS Fall Trail 5.5 Mile Run starts at 11:00 a.m. in Frances Slocum State Park, Wyoming, Pennsylvania. This 5.5-mile race follows a challenging route consisting mainly of grass and earth trails, distinguishing it from a road race. The Wyoming Valley Striders organize this event, a long-standing tradition in their fall racing schedule, now in its fourth decade. The race employs an age-group graded format, offering a distinct alternative to a straightforward fastest-runner-wins competition. Participants assemble near the lake, with registration located at the pavilion by the boat launch. Parking is available within the park at lots near the tee intersection on the entrance road, with overflow parking accessible by turning right at the same junction.
