Eastern States is a 103-mile single-loop trail race (98% single/double-track) in the Wilds region of the Allegheny Plateau in north-central PA. The race circumnavigates the stunning Pine Creek watershed that includes some of our longest climbs and most technical and remote terrain. It visits storied trails like the Mid State Trail and the Black Forest Trail, and accumulates 20,000+ feet of climbing in the process. You’ll pay a high price for these miles, but you’ll reap a reward beyond measure.
No Crew/No Pacers is our recognition of the runner who does not use a crew or pacer. This division is to alleviate some of the congestion at crewed aid stations and to give the participant extra bragging rights.
