The Boulder Field Ultra is a challenging trail race that takes runners through Hickory Run State Park in Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania. The course is considered to be of a mid-level difficulty and is well-known for two particularly tough sections: a rugged one-mile segment called the "Shades of Death Trail" and a difficult boulder field crossing. Participants can test their endurance on three different distances: an 18-mile trail run, a 50K (31-mile) ultra run, or a 100K (62-mile) ultra run, which consists of two laps of the 50K course. The event's various distances and generous time limits also make it friendly to hikers.
