Double Creek Half Marathon/10k/5k - Formally the York Hospital Fete Run For Wellness.
The York Hospital Fete is going through some major changes this year. The new event will focus exclusively on what was known as the "Book Nook" and The Hospital Fete as it had been known will no longer exist. One of the results of this change is that the Run For Wellness that had been associated with the Fete for over 30 years will no longer be at the York Fairgrounds. The run will now be held in conjunction with another event associated with WellSpan Health called the Double Creek Bike Tour.

Now that the run is no longer confined to the fairground we are free to do some new and exciting things. The biggest change is that we have added two new distance options to what has always been just a 5k. We will now have a half marathon (13.1 miles) and a 10k (6.2 miles) in addition to the 5k. The run and bike tour will share the Double Creek name but the final wording of the event has not been decided as of this date. The Double Creek Bike Tour has started in the Dover area in the past and we are looking to continue to be based in Dover but the exact location of the start is in flux due to the addition of the run and the anticipated increase in parking requirements and facility requirements. The dates are not in stone yet but June 18th or 19th 2005 look to be the most promising.

I am very excited about the changes and the opportunity to bring a half marathon to York County. Look for further information in the future and please feel free to call me if you have any questions or suggestions.
