Snack Town RunFest (fka Hanover YMCA RunFest)

The former Hanover YMCA RunFest has a new name which celebrates and embraces Hanover’s community roots as a snack food capital! The Snack Town RunFest is a running extravaganza for all ages and all abilities in the quaint borough of Hanover, PA.

The 13.1 mile, Half Marathon course, is a winding loop through Hanover, Pennsylvania. Beginning at the Hanover Y, runners will pass beautiful farmland and scenic views in the Hershey Heights area. With only one significant hill, the race’s total elevation gain is approximately 550 feet. Runners will enjoy a long downhill and cross over into the industrial park ultimately leading them to Hanover’s newly renovated rail trail. The end of the course loops through tree lined streets and ends back at the YMCA.

The 3.1 mile, 5K course, is a paved loop that is relatively flat and fast. Runners will follow tree-lined streets and and also pass through the Hanover High School campus.

We’ve also partnered with local craft breweries to bring you a Beer Bash on George (over 21 only) post-race celebration!
