Pennypack Trail Runners (PTR) invites you to come meet road running’s crunchy cousin - Trail Running!.
PTR will be hosting an open house, of sorts. Pennypack Park is perfect for introductory, novice & experienced alike. The trails are not overly technical and the hills are very manageable. Escaping into the woods gives you a nature experience that a road run often cannot, and a trail's softer surface gives your body a break, too. Plus you will be enjoying nature with some awesome, encouraging, and supportive people! Come see what we do and you will gain an appreciation for the park that you won’t get from the bike path alone
We will meet at the Pennypack Environmental Center in the rear of the building at the Fire Ring - 7:30 AM
We will mark a 3-ish mile trail to simulate a short trail course or race. Complete as many laps as you choose.
PLUS YOU WON'T WANT TO MISS THIS...
Make plans to also join us for our post run BRUNCH! We will have a make-your-own omelet station and a great selection of brunch-type food.
No need to bring anything as all the food and beverages will be provided. We will have a donation bucket if you wish to make a donation that will be given to our Mayor's Cup Charity - Pennypack Environmental Center.
Welcome to Pennypack Trail Runners!

A few words about Pennypack Trail Runners Culture
We provide a safe, positive minded, and encouraging environment for runners of all levels. If you are new to running or a veteran you will find a place in our group.
We have a "No Runner Left Behind" philosophy and encourage you to never run alone. While on a group run, it is imperative for us all to keep an eye out for each other for both participant safety and trail navigation - we don't want people getting hurt and/or lost. Whenever possible, we assign a lead runner and a back of the pack sweeper (this helps keep the group members accounted for, even with varying levels of ability). Often we break up larger groups, facilitating the ability to provide options for various paces and distances.
Welcome to our group; engage with other PTR participants as we have FUN, learn, grow, build friendships, and partake in a healthy lifestyle while discovering the beauty of nature through trail running!
