The Experience
The Two Face 10k is a unique dual race that challenges runners to tackle both a 10K road course and a 10K trail course, often in stifling August humidity. Held at North Park’s Olympia Shelter, the road section runs alongside a lake, while the trail portion ascends switchbacks through wooded terrain. The combined distance is just over a half marathon, making it a tough but rewarding effort for the roughly 165 runners who travel from as many as six states. This is a low-key event with a strong community feel, capped by post-race shaved ice and craft beer from Dancing Gnome Brewery. First run in 2023, it’s already earning a reputation as a hidden gem for those seeking an offbeat challenge.
Race-provided description
Two Face 10K gives you the option to race road, trail, or road + trail! Held annually in August in beautiful North Park from Olympia Shelter, this event is a dual race that combines a 10K Road race, followed by a 10K Trail race. Race day is typically one of the most humid days of the year in western PA. Join us and see what we mean by insane! In 2026, we race road with the lake on the left, and trail up the switchbacks from Olympia. Are you brave enough to do both? START TIMES 7:30 am - Road Race9:00 am - Trail Race Afterward, be sure to stick around and cool off with Tim Wu's Famous Shaved Ice and post-race beer from Dancing Gnome Brewing.
