Tussey Mountainback 50 Mile Ultra

Tussey Mountainback Race Weekend in Boalsburg, Pennsylvania, is an ultrarunning festival (Oct 25–26, 2025) offering the Tussey Mountainback 50-Mile Ultramarathon and 50M Relay, plus a 50K, half marathon, kids’ run, and a 100-mile ultramarathon. The 50-mile course is a USATF-certified loop on mostly unpaved fire roads through Rothrock State Forest (82% dirt, 18% paved) with about 5,485 feet of gain, passing Whipple Dam, Alan Seeger Natural Area, Penn-Roosevelt, Colyer Lake, and Bear Meadows. The weekend features a supportive atmosphere with stocked aid stations, a pre-race luncheon, and a relay format that requires a team vehicle.
