The Lake Wilhelm Marathon & Half Marathon takes place along the stunning shores of one of Pennsylvania’s largest lakes! Known for its Bald Eagle viewing, expansive lake views, and scenic bike path, Maurice K. Goddard State Park is a must visit destination! The Marathon course is USATF Certified and a Boston Marathon Qualifier.
Run across the Shenango Dam! The Hermitage Lions Club is hosting the "5th Annual Lions Give A Dam 5k'" on Saturday, June 10th at 9:00 AM. The start will be on High Street near Thelma's Sports Nook and will go up the hill toward the Shenango Dam. After crossing the dam, the course will follow the Trout Island Trail to a turnaround point and come back.
The 5k Run is an out and back course. It will start and finish close to the North Park Boathouse. While it is mostly flat, there are some rolling and gradual hills. The course is in the midst of beautiful North Park, and for the most part, runs along Lake Shore Drive.
The 1 Mile Walk route is also an out and back course and has the same start and finish points as the 5k race. Walkers will start about 5 minutes after runners. All walkers must be registered for the walk.
