Marilla Trail Race

Marilla Trail Race 14 & 7 Mile Trail Race and 3.7 mile hike at Marilla Reservoir in Bradford, PA. Then after the race, stick around for food, awards, and door prizes!

Nestled among rolling hills and dense forest, the Marilla Reservoir in Bradford, PA provides the perfect backdrop for trail racing. With two different course distances, the Marilla Trail Race offers the opportunity for beginners, hard-core trail runners, and everyone in-between to take advantage of Bradford's world-class wilderness. Clearly marked trails take runners over a variety of terrain- gra

vel paths, dirt trails, and winding single track, with aid stations spread throughout. Except for a single road crossing, the 14-miler course is 100% off-road. The same goes for the 7-miler route. While the courses are non-technical, be prepared for intense elevation changes on the rolling trails. The race features state-of-the-art chip timing by Score This!!! and the historic covered bridge serves as the finish points for both distances. All proceeds from the Marilla Trail Race go to benefit the Tuna Valley Trail Association and their ongoing commitment to the development and maintenance of trails locally in the Tuna Valley.

They deserve a post all for themselves... Please help us send a big "THANK YOU" to all of our Marilla Trail Race volunteers! It takes a village to make race day successful and our 2025 volunteers stepped up and made it happen. Grooming trails, stuffing bags, making phone calls, parking cars, serving lunch, manning aid stations, sweeping trails, cleanup, and more... our volunteers give of themselves and their time. Thank you, volunteers! We also want to give a shoutout to our Marilla Trail Race Committee who work year round - thank you!

Pictured here: Our volunteer race sweepers who follow behind the runners and make sure everyone gets in safe. Thanks Just Riding Along Bike Shop for always organizing sweepers on race day!
