About the Smallfoot Mountain Weekend

This is a free trail race for kids, held on wooded central PA trails outside Lock Haven. The run is short enough for young children, and parents can pace kids who need company on the course. A mountain bike event follows the next day on the same mountain, and kids who finish both earn a special title for the season.

The trail race is also part of a three-race youth series that runs through the warmer months. Kids must pre-register and finish all races in the series to earn a series award. There is no extra registration step for the series itself, just register for each race individually and complete them all.

Common Questions About the Smallfoot Mountain Weekend

Will I finish last at the Smallfoot Mountain Weekend?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3 Miles field finished slower than 52:02, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:55:13, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Smallfoot Mountain Weekend a good first 3 Miles?

It is a small race (176 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 3 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Smallfoot Mountain Weekend?

The 3 Miles winner ran 24:49 while the median finisher took 52:02. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
