"Gulliver's Run"

Gulliver's Run is held in Lewisberry, Pennsylvania, on November 1, 2026, at Gifford Pinchot State Park, starting at 10:30 a.m. It is a trail event pairing a 5K run with a 3.5K walk, and it is open to participants with or without a dog, which is unusual enough to be worth knowing before you enter.

Trail footing asks for a different approach than road racing: shorter strides, eyes a few paces ahead, and a pace judged by effort rather than by the watch, since the numbers will always read slower than on tarmac. This nonprofit event is named after a Hungarian vizsla treated for canine lymphoma, and proceeds go to organizations working on canine cancer research and treatment. Expect a family-friendly setup, with awards and additional activities alongside the race itself.
