Shadows of Lancaster Adventure Race

Shadows of Lancaster Adventure Race takes place in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, on October 31, 2026. One format is listed, a fun run of about 3.5 miles, or 5.6 km, starting at 9:00 a.m.

At three and a half miles this sits just beyond 5K distance, long enough that pacing matters but short enough to run off a normal week of training. Treat the opening mile as a controlled start and work into it from there. Anyone comfortable running for thirty minutes without stopping is ready; if you are not there yet, six weeks of alternating running and walking on a fixed schedule will close the gap. Because the distance is not a standard one, do not read too much into the finishing time — compare your effort against a usual 5K instead of the clock.
