Laurel Highlands Ultra

04/18/2025

JOIN US on May 3rd, 2025 will be our third annual LHU Volunteer Trail Day and group run. There’s no better way to help shape and maintain the trail we love.

In 2023 we hosted the first volunteer day specifically organized for Laurel Ultra runners. So many people in our community have put in countless hours well before 2023. But in the past 2 years we’ve learned how amazing these events can be, by meeting new people, and giving back.

We hope to see you out there in a few weeks. Send us a DM if you have any questions or click the link in our bio.

Debuting Bidwell Aid Station at Mile 25. While the decent may be hard on the legs, it’s easy on the eyes.

From start to finish and everywhere in between, the 45th year was one of the books! We appreciate and love this community so much and it’s always like a homecoming each year. We love everyone rally and cheer for each other. And seeing all the new faces that get to enjoy it for the first time!

So many incredible efforts, both crossing the finish lines and everyone in those tough early and middle miles. None of it possible without amazing volunteers, family, crews, pacers, etc.

2024 saw our most finishers ever, even as the trail proved to be challenging as always, with only about 2/3 of the field making it to the finish.

The women showed up and stacked 3 times in the top 10 of all time! .kaylee. Including a course record setting performance by .wil

also setting history, along with a course record as the first registered Non-binary runner.

The men’s field had a competitive day as well placing the top 10 under 14hrs. .english

We’re very excited for the Fall and 2025!

The map might be flat, but the trail is most definitely not.
