10K Trail Run - October 24, 2026
True to our motto that you will never run the same race twice, the race is excited to introduce an entirely new course for the 15th running of the Lehigh Gap Nature Center 10K trail run.
This year’s course is a point to point race starting at the Lehigh Gap Nature Center in Slatington, Pennsylvania. The finish is 1,000 vertical feet up the West side of the Lehigh Gap.
The course traverses all of the significant trails on the Nature Center property starting with a short steep pitch up the LNE trail. At the top you will continue on the LNE trail then descend down the steep Eagle Trail to the flat and fast D&L. Once on the 3 Ponds trail you will encounter some of the most beautiful sections of single track on the course. The single track continues and becomes more technical on the Double G and Chestnut Oak trails. The rolling hills of the Prairie Grass trail will test your climbing legs before the last mile of the course ascends 1,000 vertical feet to the finish.
This course really has something for everyone. We hope you choose our event for your fall trail running calendar.

Introducing New Trails
You'll never run the same race twice.
The Lehigh Gap Nature Center More or Less a 10K Trail Run was born out of a love of trail running by Dr. Mike Martinez and his dog Ruby. Inspired to share these beautiful trails with others, the race was created to introduce others to these awesome trails. Beyond this, the event continues to raise money for the nationally recognized Lehigh Gap Nature Center in support of it’s mission.
