ABOUT THE RACE
Rothrock by UTMB stands apart as the heart of the East Coast. Set in the wilds of central Pennsylvania, this race delivers a pure trail experience that is rugged, raw, and wildly beautiful. Rooted in outdoor adventure and community spirit. Join a place where both the land and the people have character.
Carved through Rothrock State Forest’s wild sandstone ridges, fern-covered valleys, and rhododendron tunnels, the course makes the most of all the region has to offer and is designed to offer adventure at every turn for all runners of all abilities.
Beyond the trails, Happy Valley, PA invites visitors to connect with its local community, historic charm, and welcoming hospitality, creating the perfect balance of adventure and authenticity.
