Kettle Cooker Five & Dime Trail Race

About the Event

Explore the scenic Glenroy Preserve trails at the third annual Kettle Cooker Five & Dime on October 5th, 2025 presented by Philadelphia Runner, Herr's Snacks and Altra Running, along with many local sponsors! It takes a village!

Glenroy Preserve is a beautiful outdoor playground that also happens to be rich in history. Some of the trails will take you through parts of the Underground Railroad, while even running past a tavern that was said to have served patrons during the Civil War.

Each distance is a loop. The 10 mile and 25K distances will follow the same course but then split around mile 9. ALL distances offer plenty of hills, creek crossings, mixed terrain, and plenty of on-course support.

Start time is 8:00am for ALL distances.

Registered runners will enjoy:

Entry to the 5 or 10 mile, or the 25K trail race
Chip timing
Soft race tee courtesy of Altra
Water and nutrition on course at all three (3) aid stations
A complimentary beer post race (1 per person. 21+)
Post race snacks, food, and music

There will be two pre-race packet pickups:

Friday, October 3 from 10am-6pm at Philadelphia Runner 505 Glen Eagle Plaza, Glen Mills, PA 19342.

Saturday, October 4 from 12-3pm at Lola's 57 S. 3rd St., Oxford, PA.

Please note: Race registration closes on October 4, and there will be NO race day registration or packet pick up. Please plan to pick up your packet at either of the designated dates before completing your registration.
