Ten Miles 4 Two Mile Jeep Run

The Ten Miles 4 Two Mile (TM4TM) Jeep Run returns to Two Mile Run County Park July 13 and 14.
 
This event allows only Jeeps, no other makes or models, and their drivers to experience the park on one of two five-mile woods trails or a 10-mile scenic trail.
 

Pre-registration is required with payment. Cost is $25 for the Scenic Trail and $50 for the Woods Trail. Those who register and pay for the Woods Trail can also enjoy running on the Scenic Trail. Both routes take about an hour to an hour and a half. Participants can make as many trips as time allows on both days for the single registration price. All routes will go in the same direction on Saturday and the opposite direction on Sunday.
 
This year’s courses are slightly varied than those used previously.
 
All Jeeps must be road legal with proper insurance, and all drivers must be 18 or older with a valid driver’s license.
 
The Woods trail is appropriate for stock 4×4 Wranglers that have mud, all-terrain, or winter tires. Drivers of other Jeep models can enjoy the Woods Trail with off-road modifications. Drivers of any 4×4 Jeep model can enjoy the Scenic trail.
 
The Ladies Only rides, which were new in 2023 and a success, are back with time slots available Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon, and Sunday morning. All guides will be females, and females will do all of the driving, but male passengers are allowed.
 
The event is limited to 250 Jeeps. Visit OilValleyJeeps.org for more details and to register.
 
Jeep groups from Erie, Pittsburgh, Punxsutawney/DuBois area, and even Canton, Ohio have been attending Oil Valley Jeeps’ events. According to Elliott, Jeep drivers come from about a two-hour radius.
 
There’s another way to measure the popularity of TM4TM. The event is a fundraiser for Two Mile Run County Park. Between the last three years of this event and three years of starlight rides that take place (and sell out) in February, Oil Valley Jeeps has raised more than $19,000 for Two Mile, more than any other organization that hosts an event at the park.
 
If not, the online registration will close July 12 at noon.
 
Food sales, 50/50s, and raffles will also take place during the event. Cash is required for both. Drawings will be at the end of the event on Sunday, but winners need not be present to win.
 
The rain dates are July 20 and 21. Event organizers will announce any postponement due to weather via the Facebook page.
 
However, because Oil Valley Jeeps is responsible for the safety of the participants and to keep trail conditions in good shape with minimal trail repairs, they do not want to hold the event if conditions are not acceptable.
 
The Jeep group is proud to offer this event at Two Mile and recognizes that it adds to the offerings of the park and people’s appreciation for it, Elliott said.
