Rise & Run Ultra

The Rise & Run Ultra is a mountain trail race held in Wellsboro, Pennsylvania, along the scenic West Rim Trail in the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon. It offers two distances: a challenging 50K and a new 25K option, both featuring out-and-back courses. The event is known for its minimalist, back-to-basics approach, with limited aid—only one aid station and one water drop for the 50K, and one water drop for the 25K—encouraging self-support and grit.

Starting pre-dawn, runners experience a unique early morning adventure. The race emphasizes affordability, simplicity, and camaraderie, culminating in a post-race breakfast and a special branded camp cup for finishers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
