Schedule
5:00PM - 6:00PM: Same day registration and bib pickup
6:00PM: Kid's Fun Runs
6:30PM: 5k Cross Country Race
Registration & Bibs
Registration will remain open right up to the start of the race, although earlier registration is appreciated. Please bring cash if you are planning on same day registration. All participants in the Kids Fun Races are required to complete a registration, although there is no charge and they do not need to select which race(s) they want to complete.
There will not be packet pickup prior to race day. Athletes will check-in starting at 5:00PM on the day of the race to receive a bib with a pull-off tag. The tags will be used to determine age group awards as the athletes finish.
Kid's Fun Runs
There will be three races geared towards our younger participants:
50 meter "final stretch" run for younger kids
1/4 mile loop around the field
1/2 mile loop around the field
All participants will receive a ribbon and popsicle at the finish. The races will not be timed. Parents are welcome to run with their children. All spectators are strongly encouraged to cheer the kids on.
The Kid's Fun Runs are free!
5k Cross Country Race
The 5k will be a cross country style race around Cobb's Hill Park. Most of the race will be on grass and trails with some short stretches on pavement (see the course map for more detail). The course will be marked with brightly colored flags and there will be several marshals on course to help runners.
The 5k races are free to members of the Genesee Valley Harriers club. You will have an opportunity to join as part of registration if you are not currently a member.
The 5k races are free to all runners under 18 years old.
$35.00 for all four 5k races (discount applied at check-out)
$10.00 for any single 5k race
Eastern States 100 is 103 rocky miles with +20,000ft of elevation gain and a finisher rate of about 49 percent. Welcome to Pennsylvania!
Registration opens October 1st at 6pm EST.
Only the hardiest of runners will complete this circumnavigation of Pine Creek. A Pennsylvania Scenic River. The largest creek in the United States. The Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania. The river route that supplied the lumber that built America. The Iroquois called it Tiadaghton – the River of Pines. Or is it the Lost or Bewildered River? After 100 miles of multiple 900 – 1200 foot climbs and equally punishing descents, the second definition will seem appropriate.
Runners will experience portions of some of the most scenic and most challenging trails in Pennsylvania. The Mid State Trail – Pennsylvania’s wildest footpath. The Black Forest Trail – the crown jewel of Pennsylvania’s long distance hiking trails featuring hills, rocks, and on average, a vista for every mile of trail. The West Rim Trail – a backpacker’s favorite for experiencing the Pine Creek Gorge. The Donut Hole Trail, the T-Squared Trail, the Long Branch Trail, the Tiadaghton Trail, and several shorter connector trails will round out the 100 mile loop.
Ramsey at the south end is nothing more than a collection of houses and seasonal residences. You will cross Pine Creek on a former railroad trestle before climbing to the panoramic Ramsey Bend Vista. The north end is Blackwell, a tiny village with the historic Blackwell Hotel restaurant/bar and a small convenience and gift store. You will cross a unique one lane steel grate bridge that bends in the middle prior to climbing Gillespie Point - The Matterhorn of the Alleghenies - the only true peak in Pennsylvania.
In between are miles of hills, rocky hollows, diverse forest and endless views. Wolf Path, Cougar Run, Hemlock Mountain, Jerry Run Falls, Panther Run, and the Algerine Wild Area are just some of the local trails you'll traverse. The course is full of single track, old logging roads and abandoned stone quarries. Deer, bear, bald eagles, and rattlesnakes may be seen. Other than the well-stocked aid stations we will provide, the only civilization centers you will pass through are Ramsey, Blackwell, Hyner Run State Park and Slate Run.
Qualifying for Eastern States
The Eastern States 100 is not an entry-level ultramarathon. The course terrain, elevation gain, and weather conditions present unique challenges that require significant prior trail running experience.
Minimum Qualification Requirement
All participants must finished at least one advertised 50K trail race within the official cut-off time prior to registering/picked from the waitlist for Eastern States 100.
The qualifying race must take place between January 1, 2024, and the date of registration/picked from the waitlist.
The race must be an officially organized trail event with publicly available results (e.g., posted on Ultrasignup or a race/timing website).
Non-Qualifying Events
The following do not meet the qualification requirement:
Timed events (e.g., 12-hour, 24-hour races)
Fastest Known Times (FKTs), peak bagging or Long-Distance runs/hikes
Obstacle Course Races (OCR)
Biathlon/Triathlon events (unless the run portion is a 50K trail race with official results)
Completion Requirement
The qualifying 50K must be completed prior to registration. Registrants who do not meet this requirement will not be accepted. Race management is absolute regarding the 50K requirement.
Limited flexibility on the January 1, 2024, date may be granted only in extenuating life circumstances (e.g., military service, pregnancy).
Rationale
Since the race began in 2014, Eastern States 100 has averaged just a 49% finish rate, dropping into the 30% range in hot years. High drop rates put extra strain on medical staff, logistics, and emergency crews—ultimately endangering both participants and volunteers.
The 50K requirement ensures that the participant has experience in a race environment. The intent is to ensure both participants and the race itself meet a level of knowledge and expectations.
Our course is unforgiving: relentless climbs, rugged terrain, and frequent severe weather. Without proper preparation and prior trail experience, runners are highly likely to fail.
We’re keeping it simple and consistent (50K Trail event). No subjective calls. No debates about whether a certain course, run, or effort you completed is “hard enough.”
Participant Responsibility
It is the responsibility of each participant to research the course, review maps, read race reports, and seek advice from past finishers before entering.
Race management will not provide individualized assessments of readiness. If you need to ask whether you are prepared, the answer is likely “no.”
Supported vs. Unsupported Classes
At Eastern States 100, runners are classified into two categories:
Supported – Crew assistance is allowed at designated crew-accessible aid stations, and pacers are permitted starting at approved points along the course.
Unsupported – No crew and no pacers are allowed at any point during the race.
This classification helps maintain fairness, consistency, and clarity for all participants.
COMMOM QUESTIONS
Q: As an Unsupported Runner, can I have friends or family spectate?
A: Yes. Unlike some races that prohibit spectators for unsupported runners (on the theory that “emotional support” counts as aid), we are not that strict. Spectators are welcome at crew-designated aid stations only. They may not provide food, hydration, or equipment, nor may they spectate at non-crew aid stations or elsewhere along the course.
Q: What happens if I’m registered as Unsupported but end up needing crew or a pacer during the race?
A: You will not be disqualified. Instead, you will simply be reclassified as a Supported Runner. The same logic applies in reverse: if you begin as a Supported Runner but complete the race without crew or pacers, you will be listed as Unsupported.
Q: As an Unsupported Runner, can I use aid stations?
A: Absolutely. All runners, regardless of category, have full access to official aid stations. That includes food, hydration, medical care, and any services provided by race staff and volunteers.
Q: What recognition do I receive as an Unsupported Runner?
A: Unsupported runners primarily earn bragging rights and respect from the community. Unsupported finishes are not published in the official results and there is no overall award for the category. However, Unsupported finishers will receive a small memento in recognition of their accomplishment—for example, in past years we have awarded custom-designed glassware.
Q: Why make a distinction between Supported and Unsupported?
A: There are two main reasons:
Recognition – We believe Unsupported participants deserve acknowledgment for tackling the course entirely on their own.
Permitting – Our race permits from the Commonwealth are based on total human impact (participants, crew, volunteers, and vehicles), not just the number of runners. By creating an Unsupported category, crewed aid stations are less crowded, and we can responsibly increase our overall participant cap, giving more runners the opportunity to take part in Eastern States 100.
PLEASE BE AWARE -- Runners signing up between now and the race will not receive any promotional bags!
The 5K was a hit last year and we’re glad to bring it back to our annual Blueberry Festival in Montrose, PA! Come on out on Saturday, August 2nd for our Second Annual 5K and Fun Run. Work up an appetite on the race course, and then have some blueberry pancakes at our breakfast tent! We have family friendly events happening all day on the Village Green in Montrose, PA.

There is a school award category being offered at this race that involves school athletic programs. If you are a school student, parent or immediate family member of a student, alumni, current or retired school employee, then you are eligible to race for your school. When signing up for the race, runners must identify what school they are affiliated with on the t-shirt size selection page. Scoring will be done the same as high school team cross country races: the top five males and top five females times of each school district will be used. Cash awards will be given to the three top scoring schools for both males and females and an additional cash award will be given to the school that registers the most overall participants. A check will be made out to the running program of each school receiving an award.
Cash awards for both Male and Female scores are as follows;
1st place school - $500
2nd place school - $300
3rd place school - $100
School with the most overall participants - $100
If you want to support the athletic department of a School District, please identify the school district when asked. It's a great way to show your school spirit!
All runners who pre-register by July 19th will receive an event T-shirt.
*Those registering after that date may receive a T-shirt if available. All participants for the 5K and the Fun Run must sign a waiver.

Q: Are dogs allowed on the course?
A: Yes, dogs are allowed on the course. However, due to safety and insurance reasons, we discourage participants from running with their dogs. The race is on a public trail that allows dogs, so we do not ban dogs from the race. We ask that if you choose to run with your dog, you only do so if your dog has extensive experience running in groups and with strangers. According to PA state law, all dogs, whether running or spectating or just meandering through on a Saturday walk, MUST be leashed while on public property.
Q: Are strollers allowed on the course?
A: No. The trail is not well-suited for strollers.
Q: Can I see a map of the half course?
A: Yes! (And the quarter marathon is the first half the half). FOLLOW THIS LINK HERE.

DAY OF EVENT:
Registration will open at 6:30 a.m. at Grovedale Winery. Everyone will receive a bib and the race chip will be attached to your bike. If you're a team - only the member doing the bike leg will receive a chip
Please stage your kayak and bike before 7:30 a.m. There will not be time after that point to do so.
Pre-race talk will begin promptly at 7:45 a.m.
Race starts at 8 a.m.
A pace car will lead the runners to the Terrytown Launch and there will be a water station right before at the Terrytown Cemetery.
The skilled staff from Endless Mountain Outfitters will be on sight at the launch if you need help getting your kayak into the water, but they will not do so unless directed by you.
At the Endless Mountain Outfitters leg change - there will be a water station.
Our finish line is right back at Grovedale where we will have awards, food, and live music for anyone looking to unwind and cool off.
IMPORTANT REMINDERS:
You need to wear a life jacket while kayaking and a helmet when biking. These need to be hooked and racers will be disqualified if they are not wearing these.
We love to have family and friends there as spectators cheering you on BUT we do not want them running the course with you or biking the course. This is not safe for them or for our participants. Please remind them of this if they plan to do that.
We will stress that there are no spectators who drive off toward the Terrytown launch site. There is no space to accommodate cars there, because this area is still open to the public and there is just not enough room. We encourage everyone to leave from the high school and go over to EMO to watch you come in off the water. There are some great places to view from that point.
Event details and schedule
The Waterloo Library & Historical Society presents the 2026 Bookish 5k & the Cookie Fun Run (If You Give A Pig A Party)!
Join us for our 3rd Annual Bookish 5K: Stories in Stride event with a different theme for this year. 2026’s 5k theme is TBD. The first 100 Bookish 5K participants will receive a book-themed medal and T-shirt.
“If you give a pig a party”, they will probably party. When they party, they will probably feel guilty. But if they do this fun-run they can have their cake and eat it too!
This family friendly race, originally inspired by Laura Numeroff's "If You Give A Mouse A Cookie", will tickle your taste buds AND benefit the Waterloo Library & Historical Society. This year we will be eating CAKE, but don't worry, you don't have to eat them along your run. We'll have some ready for when you are done!

Clarks Summit Goes Pink is a certified non-profit organization dedicated to raising awareness about breast cancer and supporting those affected—right here in our own community.
Our mission is to educate, empower, and inspire by bringing people together to make a meaningful difference. Every dollar we raise stays local, helping to provide support, resources, and hope to individuals and families in our area.
Throughout the year, we organize events and initiatives that unite our town in pink—highlighting the importance of early detection, community support, and continued research.
One of our biggest and most anticipated events is our Annual 5K Run / 1 Mile Walk and Community Block Party—a family-friendly celebration of strength, unity, and hope.
At Clarks Summit Goes Pink, we believe that real change starts close to home. Thank you for helping us turn awareness into action—and Clarks Summit into a beacon of support for all who are affected by breast cancer.
Let’s turn Clarks Summit pink together!
