The Tussey Mountainback Race Weekend, nestled in scenic Boalsburg, Pennsylvania, is an annual highlight for endurance athletes, typically occurring during the peak fall foliage. This event challenges runners with its demanding, largely unpaved courses through Rothrock State Forest. Participants can choose from a range of distances, including the gruelling 100-mile ultramarathon, the established 50-mile ultramarathon (available as a solo race or a team relay with 12 distinct legs), a 50-kilometer ultramarathon, and a half marathon. For the younger enthusiasts, there's also a Kids' 1-mile fun run, making it a comprehensive weekend of trail running for all ages and skill levels.
