This event is part of the 2026 Cambria County Trails Series. Proceeds from the Chernisky Ghost Town Trail-a-thon will benefit the enhancement and expansion of the Cambria County Trails and the Cambria County Firefighters Training Facility.

The foot race consists of 3 offered distances:
- Marathon (26.2 miles) - Participants are dropped off at the starting point in Ebensburg, PA and travel the full marathon course to end at Duman Lake County Park. The course takes competitors down the recent 2 mile extension of the C & I Trail through Revloc and back to the main stem, then spans from Ebensburg to Vintondale along the GTT, right to follow the Rexis Branch/C & I Extension, then extends to the left down the recently constructed trail that connects the GTT system to Duman Lake County Park.
- 15 miler - Participants are dropped off at the starting point in Nanty Glo, PA and travel the 15-mile course to end at Duman Lake County Park. The course is the same as the marathon, but starting at a later point in Nanty Glo.
- 5k - Participants run/walk/wheel an out and back course both beginning and ending at Duman Lake County Park using the recently constructed trail which connects the Ghost Town Trail system to the park. This course is entirely crushed gravel with some pavement at the beginning/end, with a couple minor hill climbs.

*NEWER TO THIS EVENT* - Couch Potato 0.0k - It's as easy as it sounds! Participants will gather at the start line, "ready, set, go, you're finished"! Join us this day in a not-so-physically-demanding way, though we can't promise you'll want to get off the couch!

Transportation will be available for participants from the finish line in Duman Lake County Park to their respective starting lines for the marathon and 15-miler. 

Those registering for the bicycle ride will be invited to join in a leisurely 26.2 mile (marathon) bike ride from Duman Lake County Park to Twin Rocks, and back, using the Ghost Town Trail and C & I Extension this day. We suggest you come prepared with water and snacks, but cyclists in the event may utilize the running race's aid stations. You are encouraged to ride with the group but may go your own distance at your own pace as desired. 

A commemorative long sleeve shirt will be provided to all pre-registrants. All finishers of Saturday's events (including the 0.0k) will receive a finishers medal. Prizes will be available for the top 3 finishers male/female for the marathon, 15-miler and 5k post-race; top 3 male/female finisher awards will be presented to Athletes with Disabilities (AWD) division for the 5k. Music and a post race meal will be offered to all runners/walkers/cyclists of the Trail-a-thon.
