Call Of The Wilds Mountain Fest

The Call of the Wilds Mountain Fest is a challenging trail running event held in mid-October at Little Pine State Park in Waterville, Pennsylvania, showcasing stunning fall foliage. It offers two race distances: a 25K with over 5,000 feet of vertical gain and a grueling 50K featuring about 8,000 feet of elevation gain. Both courses traverse rugged terrain including the Mid State, Spiked Buck, Tiadaghton, Pesto, Panther Run, and the notorious Torbert Trail, known for its difficulty and scenic downhill finish.

The event is limited to 400 runners, emphasizing that these are not beginner-friendly courses, with cut-offs to ensure daylight finishes. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
