Both races begin at 9 a.m. on their respective dates.
The Bobcat Challenge 6K race will be held Mar. 15, 2025, on the Bell Memorial Trail, a wooded trail located above the Hempfield Township campus. Because of the size of the trail, only 60 runners will be registered for the 6K race. Once those spots are filled, there will be no other registrations.
The Bobcat Challenge 5K race will be held Apr. 5, 2025, and will follow a course on pavement throughout the campus. This route includes rolling hills and will travel past Millstein Library, Lynch Hall, and the Ridilla Athletic Fields.
Those who compete in both races will vie for the Bobcat Challenge Award, which is based on the fastest combined time for the top male and female finishing both races. Awards will also be given for overall, age groups, and top alumni in each race.
