About

Run for the Elk is a festival-style event in Emporium, PA celebrating the region’s elk herd with 5K, 10K, half marathon and full marathon options. The course is mostly flat, fast trail with aid stations every two miles and post-race food, medals and awards including non‑binary categories.

Catering & aid stations

Post-race food provided: sandwiches and cookies (Fox's Pizza in Emporium), plus water and Gatorade at aid stations. On-course aid approximately every two miles; an unmanned bottled-water station is also available due to trail constraints.
