Blues Cruise
The Blues Cruise is a 50K trail ultramarathon held near Reading, Pennsylvania, celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2025. The 31-mile loop course circles Blue Marsh Lake, featuring varied terrain including fields, rolling hills, single track, and less than half a mile of public road. A notable challenge is the "Ski Slope," a 240-foot vertical climb.
The race offers a 9-hour time limit, making it accessible for newer ultra runners. Additionally, a relay option allows teams of 2-4 runners to complete the course in four legs. Well-stocked aid stations and a post-race buffet enhance the supportive and festive atmosphere.
The event is a Road Runners Club of America regional championship. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
