Beartown ROCKS Trail Race

04/17/2022

Hello everyone and Happy Easter! As I'm sure many of you realize, we will not be holding the race this year. Unfortunately much of our course has been timbered making it impossible to run the races this year. Once everything is cleaned up, we'll reassess and see if we're able to continue next year. We do have a few ideas for a course change so it may be possible to revamp and continue on in the future. Thanks so much to all of our racers and their families and we hope to see you again in the future!

A question for the 5.5ers. What distance did your watches say at the finish? Comment below, but it's looking like with the extra laurel field loop, we might as well call this is 10k. I'll start!

Thank you once again everyone, for an incredible day on the trails! I'll post the photos in the coming days.

We love seeing the new faces and the old and appreciate everyone's enthusiasm and participation.

A special thank you to all of the extra volunteers today too, it was very much appreciated, especially for those that helped and weren't expecting too! It takes a small army!

See you all next year!

A few notes for Saturday's race:

1) Race day registration starts at 8:00 for the 25k ($60) and 9:00 for the 5.5 ($30)

2) Directions: Just put "Laurel Fields Rd. Sigel, Pa" into your GPS

3) 25k starts at 9, prerace meeting at 845

4) 5.5mi starts at 10, prerace at 945

5) If you're arriving around 9am for the 5.5, be very careful as we'll be lining up for the 25k start along the road!

6) With all of the covid craziness, we are not having food this year. We will have aid stations with water and fruit. If you'd like to eat after the race though, Farmer's Inn is just down the road!

If you have any questions, feel free to message me here or text me at 814-594-0980. The cell service isn't great out there, but you can usually get a text through. See you all on Saturday!

Just over 24 hours left to register early and save some $! In the meantime, here's a clip of my favorite section of the course. Running down the "emerald isle" with a wall of mountain laurel on both sides. It's awesome!
