The organizers of the annual Preston Park trail race are adding a 10K to the event this year, in hopes of increasing attendance by people who will want to take on the challenge.

The Preston Park 5K and 10K will take place Oct. 20 at the park in Butler Township and will feature a new 10K course that will take participants through even more scenes the park has to offer.

Tony Stagno, executive director of the Friends of Preston Park Foundation, said the event is not only a fundraiser that helps maintain the park, but also a chance to bring more people to it to experience the 88-acre park.

“We're bringing in people from the area, and the response is normally 'what a beautiful place to run,’” Stagno said. “The race combines the community, my volunteers ... it's a nice community event.”
