    The 14th annual Mudslide is a mudrun that's FUN. Yes, you'll get muddy, yes there is running, yes there are 15 obstacles but NO fire, NO barbed wire, and NO electric shocks! The 4.2 mile and 6.0 mile courses both start at the top of Morning Star with access from the Yodeler lift and run along the ridgeline to Spruce Lake and then back around the mountain to Eagle where the short course and long course split. The short course heads down the hill, where the long course adds a bit of uphill running just in case you're feeling especially tough.

    Kids course is for kids 10 & under, kids under 10 may run the short course but must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

    If you’re feeling fast and think you could place in the top 10, please start early in your wave, but all runners will be timed and awarded a finisher’s medal.

    If you are in the long course and miss the start window you will have to switch to the short course.

    Nestled among rolling hills and dense forest, the Marilla Reservoir in Bradford, PA provides the perfect backdrop for trail racing.

    With both 7 mile and 14 mile courses, 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- gravel paths, dirt trails, and winding single track, with aid stations spread throughout. Except for a single road crossing, the 14 mile course is 100% off-road, and the same goes for the 7 mile route. While the courses are mostly non-technical, be prepared for intense elevation changes on the rolling hills and some winding single track. The race features state-of-the-art chip timing by Score This!!! and the historic covered bridge serves as the finish point for both distances. Then after the race, stick around for food, awards, and door prizes!

    All proceeds from the Marilla Trail Race will go to benefit the Tuna Valley Trail Association and their ongoing commitment to the development and maintenance of trails locally in the Tuna Valley.
