Chambersburg Running Event

Step into a race where your running skills and strategy collide! Snake Run is a unique fun run where participants navigate a twisting course inspired by the classic Snake game. The farther you run, the more “points” you collect — just like the snake growing longer!

Race Format

• Distance: 5K, 10K, and Kids’ 1K Fun Run

• Type: Timed and untimed options

• Theme: Each runner represents a “snake,” and checkpoints along the course act like the “food” the snake eats to grow longer.

How the Snake Game Is Involved

• Participants will collect colored tokens (like snake food) at various checkpoints.

• Each token earns a “growth point” — the runner with the longest “snake” at the finish line wins a special prize.

• Digital displays at checkpoints can show each runner’s progress, just like the snake’s tail growing on a screen.

Additional Fun Elements

• Snake Costumes: Optional, to make the race more playful.

• Leaderboard: Show top runners and “snake lengths” in real-time on the big screen at the finish line.

• Post-Race Celebration: “Snake Pit” area with refreshments, games, and a mini digital snake game for kids.
