Join us April 12th, 2025 for either our short course (10K) or tackle our half-marathon-ish course.

The 13th running of the “Dirty Kiln Trail Races at Canoe Creek State Park” brought to you by Allegheny Trailrunners, Inc. will be Saturday, April 12th, 2025! Canoe Creek State Park was chosen by the PA Dept. of Conservation and Natural Resources as one of “Twenty Must-See Pennsylvania State Parks” for its industrial history, wildlife and recreation. Trail runners will have a choice to run the 10K course up Moore’s Hill and around Canoe Creek Lake or the half-marathon course, running around the park a second time but on a more hilly and challenging route!  Both courses have a lot of variety of trails from horse paths, winding singletrack, stream crossings and mud… lots of mud.

The half-marathon starts at 9:00am while the 10K start at 9:15am.

No same-day signups for this event.

WHAT YOU GET:

Allegheny Trailrunners is a 501c3 not-for-profit organization and its officers are all volunteers and are not compensated for our work. All net proceeds from our events are proudly contributed to carefully predetermined charities and other non-profit organizations at the end of the year. But we do like to reward our participants – especially since Dirty Kiln has been an introductory race toward trailrunning.

CUT-OFFS (2025): 

In order to give our staff, volunteers, search and rescue, medical personnel and vendors with accurate information and to ensure the safety of participants, we will be enforcing cutoff times for the half-marathon.
