The 25th Annual Wilderness 101 Ultra is set to captivate runners with its scenic and challenging course through Pennsylvania's stunning Bald Eagle and Rothrock State Forests. This year, the race offers two distinct routes: the iconic OG 101 Mile Ultra and a slightly shorter Marathon distance. Starting on Saturday, July 25th at Coburn Park, the event promises an unforgettable experience with its diverse terrain that includes singletrack trails, doubletrack paths, fire roads, and even some paved sections. The course is known for its rugged beauty, offering breathtaking views of the forest landscape as runners navigate through a mix of challenging climbs and sweeping descents. The 2025 Marathon route covers over 70 miles, slightly longer than typical marathon courses but without the inclusion of three large mountains that challenge the Ultra distance. Runners can expect to start at Coburn Park by 9 am for this distance, while the traditional 101 Mile Ultra race will begin an hour earlier. For those planning their route, detailed course maps from previous years are available online and remain unchanged since 2023. The new Marathon course is under development but promises a fast and exciting run through the forests. Aid stations along both routes offer essential support, including water, energy gels, snacks, and cold drinks. Coburn Park opens to runners on Friday at 11 am for camping in a first-come-first-serve basis. Tents are preferred over generators due to park regulations, but potable water and portable toilets ensure comfort during the race weekend. Packet pickup will take place from 4:20 pm to 10 pm under the small pavilion. Participants can look forward to a hearty BBQ or veggie burger at the finish line along with refreshments and beverages. The event also includes two nights of camping, fully stocked aid stations spaced every 20 miles, and cash prizes for top finishes in various categories including men's open, women's open, masters (50+), tandem, singlespeed, and Clydesdale classes. Awards will be given to the top five overall finishers in both distances. The race also features a technical t-shirt and participant pint glass as part of the entry fee package. A limited field size ensures a competitive atmosphere for all participants. Volunteers are encouraged to sign up and play an integral role by supporting riders at aid stations, ensuring that outside support is strictly prohibited. For those unable to follow runners personally, drop bags can be arranged on Friday evening from 5 pm to 11 pm with labels clearly marked. Race organizers will not accept any lost or stolen items. With a series of well-placed mini and full-service aid stations, including one at the finish line, runners can expect timely support throughout their journey. Aid station rules emphasize safety by asking racers to keep their bikes clear from harm's way when stopping for supplies. For local enthusiasts looking to get involved, The Bicycle Shop in State College offers expert advice on the best routes and equipment. Whether you're a seasoned runner or new to the event, Wilderness 101 Ultra promises an exhilarating challenge amidst Pennsylvania’s natural beauty.
