Oil Creek 5 & 13 Stacked Trail Races
The 4th Annual Oil Creek 5 & 13 Stacked Trail Races feature a 5-mile race and 13-mile race utilizing paths and trails around the Drake Well Museum, including the Gerard Hiking Trail in Oil Creek State Park. The races feature an exciting twist: the “Stacked Challenge.” Race start times are staged 90 minutes apart with the 5-mile race starting first bright and early at 7 a.m. followed by the 13-mile race at 8:30 a.m. This allows the option for participants to run one or both races, competing for the fastest “stacked” finish time.
