After the July 22 deadline registration is $30 including a t-shirt. Once t-shirts run out registration goes down to $25. Checks should be made payable to “Great Valley Nature Center.”

Reading, PA 19606

Online registration is available on www.pretzelcitysports.com up to Wednesday, July 27 at midnight. The course of the run is on a beautiful, scenic lakefront, shaded trail. It is perfect for beginners with enough technical challenges to keep experts on their toes as well. The race has forests, rolling hills, grassy meadows, messy mud holes, downed trees and more!

There will be water stops every 2.5 miles on the trail with a lot of post-race food, vendors, and race results! A hundred of the proceeds go to the Great Valley Nature Center – please consider making a donation or becoming a race sponsor!
