First Saturday Summer Camping Series!

In the summer we travel a bit farther for our Saturday runs and make a weekend out of it with camping! We're outlining the dates and locations for now and we'll send out more details as needed. If you have any questions, feel free to email Ashley at ashleystalnecker@gmail.com.

  • May 3-5: Southern Michaux
  • June 7-9: Hyner
  • July 5-7: Bald Eagle
  • August 9-11: Little Pine
  • August 30 - September 2 (*this is a change*): World's End (the club sponsors this trip)
  • October 4-6: Colton Point

The Details

The Summer Series has camping available for each location, with club members often staying the entire weekend and camping together.

On the run, the group breaks up based on pace and spends about two hours on the trails.

Runners and hikers of all abilities are welcome!

  • Water and/or squeeze filter
  • Food, ~200 calories per hour
  • Sunscreen and sun protection
  • Allergy meds (e.g. epi-pen)
  • Map and/or phone with downloaded map
