MARTINSBURG, W.VA. – It’s time to get ready for the 36th Annual Apple Trample 5k on Saturday, October 17, 2015.  The Apple Trample provides an excellent opportunity right in our backyard to do your first 5k or work on your 5k time.  The Apple Trample is a long standing tradition, part of a larger community event that celebrates the history and heritage of our area. What better time to take on a personal challenge.
