Glacier Ridge Trail Ultramarathon

Glacier Ridge Trail Ultramarathon Join us May 11th, 2024 in beautiful Moraine State Park in western Pennsylvania for the 13th Annual Glacier Ridge Trail Ultramarathon and Trail Race.

Emerging brilliant green foliage and spring wildflowers in the rolling hills of Moraine State Park and the Jennings Environmental Education Center in western Pennsylvania are the setting for the GRT. The event’s namesake refers to a meandering ridge that is actually the terminal moraine that corresponds to the most southerly point reached by advancing glaciers during the Pre-Illinoian ice age, some one to two million years ago.
