The Sasquatch is a great trail run for beginners to advanced runners – all about having fun and supporting FNLT’s land preservation across York County!  Is it tough?  That depends who you ask… as tough as you want to make it be!

Once featured as one of Runner’s World magazine’s America’s Top Trail Races, The Sasquatch is off-road (save for one – safe – road crossing) with cross-country and trails on varied terrain and elevation through farmland, woods, pastures and streams. On the course you’ll find bugs, birds, deer, turkeys, owls, foxes, coyotes, snakes and…. yes sasquatches!  The 10K has climbs including OVER the historic Howard Tunnel / Rail Trail.  Both runs cross the Codorus Creek near the finish.  As course designer Rob Kinsley states, “If you’re not wet and dirty, you’re disqualified!”  

After the race, participants can enjoy some great donated fun from our supporters, including a light lunch from Rockfish Hospitality, fruits from Flinchbaugh’s Orchard & Farm Market, and adult beverage sampling from Brewery Products (21+ with ID).  We’ll have something special for the kids too, stay tuned.
