Slickville 5k Coal Mine Climb & 2 Mile Fun Walk
Date: Saturday, August 8, 2026
Location: Intersection of Rte 819 and Main Street, Slickville, PA 15684 US
Description: Come join us during our 2025 Slickville Community Days celebration! The 5k race is a challenging backcountry route with several hills leading to the "coal mine climb" up the slate mound past the famous Slickville sign that overlooks the town. The 2-mile walk is a much gentler course through town for the first half and returning to the finish on the Westmoreland Heritage Trail where you can watch the runners in their attempt to reach the summit of the race. Be sure to sign up early to guarantee receipt of an event sports shirt in your preferred size. After completing the run/walk, all participants will be treated to a complimentary pancake breakfast with locally sourced genuine maple syrup courtesy of the Slickville Community Church and Maple Lodge.
