Naked Bavarian

The Naked Bavarian is an affordable ultra trail running event held at Blue Marsh Lake in Leesport, Pennsylvania. Offering 20- and 40-mile distances, the course features a lollipop loop with mostly runnable single-track trails (80%) and some gravel roads (20%), with elevation gains of approximately 2,000 feet for 20 miles and 4,000 feet for 40 miles. The race emphasizes a no-frills experience, focusing on a good course, aid stations, and medical support rather than expensive swag.

Aid stations are well spaced, and the event welcomes runners even in snowy or muddy conditions. Post-race includes food and awards for top finishers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
