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 a low entry fee ($50 for 50K, $25 for 25K), limited aid stations, and a self-supported format encouraging runners to carry their own nutrition.

Starting pre-dawn, the race emphasizes a rugged, no-frills experience with a noon finish cutoff. Participants enjoy stunning natural views and a post-race breakfast, plus a unique branded camp cup as a finisher’s prize. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
