Tussey mOUnTaiNBACK 50 Mile Relay and Ultramarathon

Tussey mOUnTaiNBACK 50 Mile Relay and Ultramarathon Race Weekend of the 2025 Tussey mOUnTaiNBACK will be held on Oct. 25-26, 2025. Be there! Just for the hill of it! Your generosity makes a difference!

The Tussey mOUnTaiNBACK is dedicated to serving runners of all levels and giving back to the regional community. Our primary events take place on a Race Weekend each year in October in Central Pennsylvania's Rothrock State Forest and include ultramarathons (100 miles, 50 miles, and 50 kilometers), a 50-mile relay (for teams of 2-8 runners), a half marathon, and a kids' mile. We also host a series of free races from February through June called the Tussey Teasers, and a training series from August into October called the Discovery Series on unique routes in Rothrock State Forest. Our certified 50-mile single-loop course is 84% unpaved, offering a soft and nontechnical running surface. Proceeds from our events support nonprofit organizations in Centre County.
