Event Description:
The Wilderness 101 offers two routes. The OG 101 Mile Ultra and a slightly shorter Marathon distance. They both offer a very scenic and challenging backcountry trails and remote fire roads in the Bald Eagle and Rothrock State Forests of PA. The course consists of singletrack, doubletrack, and fire roads with a bit of pavement. We do expect a few changes. The Marathon course is slightly long at 70+ but it without 3 very very large mountains that the Ultra loop has included so with that in mind - it is a FAST 70+ miles. Note start time is now 9 am for Marathon Distance from the Coburn Park. The 101 Mile original start is still 7:00 am. - Marathon 9 am Start.
WE ARE COOKING UP SOME NEW MARATHON COURSE!! We will try to have that finalized by Feb 1st.
We will get Marathon Riders drop bags to the aid stations if you check in by Saturday 8:30 am - Stations 3/4/5 only.
2025 Course Maps below - Same routes since 2023. We are using the new Rt. 322 bypass crossing again to Crowfield Rd. and we have to walk 1) the busy area in Poe Paddy at Aid Station #5 and 2) the final bridge before the last tunnel about 1.5 miles before the finish.

Participant support - NO - you can NOT follow your "rider" around the course to support. You CAN sign friends/family up to help at an aid station and HELP ALL THE RIDERS!! Our agreement with the DCNR is to minimally impact the Forest and this is paramount.

Rider disqualification will result if outside support is noted or reported.
!!!VOLUNTEERS CLICK HERE!!!
For 2026 You are allowed THREE - 1 gallon ziplock bags to be used as drop bags that we will provide. That includes your lights!!!! If the ziplock cannot seal closed we will not send it onto the aid stations. No camelbak drops allowed unless it fits in one closed gallon ziplock bag. Put a LARGE legible number on your bag before you fill it up. We are not responsible for any lost, stolen or missing drop bags.
There is 1 mini water station and 4 full service aid stations complete with food, beverages, and support. The aid stations are what makes this race so much fun. When stopping at a station please do not drop your bike in the road, either keep it between your legs or walk it to the side of the road and place it clear from harms way.
Have friends/family that aren't racing but want to come and help support! Have them sign up for some of our great volunteer positions. We do request if non racers are coming to this event they volunteer a little time to the event. Volunteers are a great aspect to this event as well as all of our other events, so please help out. AGAIN - select personal support outside of the aid station's by those not "volunteering" will result in disqualification.

Registration is $25 for walk/run, $20 for Fireman's Challenge. All proceeds go directly to Houtzdale Fire Company.
REFERRAL OPTIONS TO SAVE MONEY!
Register 10 or more people at one time using the multi-signup option and the fee is reduced by $5!
****** WE WILL CONTINUE USING THE 2023 REVISED COURSE ****** The course is slightly longer (3.3 miles) than the standard distance (3.1 miles) but is more manageable for more runners and walkers. Visit our Facebook page for a video of the course: https://www.facebook.com/HoutzdaleDays5K
The Fireman's Challenge will follow the same course as the 5k, but participants must wear or carry (but not with the aid of a bag) turnout gear for the entire race. Turnout gear includes boots, hat, pants, and coat. Insulation is not required. The first person to cross the finish line will win $250.00 for the Fire Company or EMS of their choice. Based on previous year's weather, this challenge will be dependent on weather conditions. Conditions will be evaluated throughout the day race day, and if weather is too hot or unfavorable The Fireman's Challenge may be modified or discontinued. This decision will be at the discretion of the Race Director.
Shirts will only be guaranteed with registrations received by 11:59pm on July 17th. To maximize the donation to the Houtzdale Fire Company we don't want to order additional shirts that we cannot ensure will be given away. If you would like a shirt, make sure you get your registration in soon!!
Because this race is about bringing the community together and supporting those who support us in a time of need, we will be waiting until all racers have crossed the finish line to give out medals. This should take place between 10-10:30 AM. It would be greatly appreciated that if you win your division, you stick around to get your medal and a picture. I know some of us are faster than others, but that does not make those slower any less of a racer than you. Please show your support to those who ran, walked, or crawled the same distance as you.
The Houtzdale Fire Company cannot thank the community enough for your continued support of the Houtzdale Days 5k Run/Walk and Fireman's Challenge.
See you at the starting line!

Course Description
On the race day, all participants can easily follow the marked trail. The Oktoberfest 5k trail race will kick off outback Boal City Brewery. As soon as the start "gun" goes off, the race will begin along the gravel driveway of the 200-year-old Boal Estate Mansion. You will pass beneath ancient oak and maple trees and continue past Columbus Chapel on your left. The first part of the run will take you through recently cut farm fields that offer stunning views of the fall foliage. The trails are smooth and flowy, and they will take you through the Stan Yoder Preserve natural area and Blue Spring Park, both managed by the Center Region Park and Recreation. It's important to note that this course isn't flat, and you will encounter a few hills along the way. Follow the trail arrows, return to Boal City Brewery as quickly as possible, and enjoy a refreshing cold beer after your race. Beer and adventure make for the perfect combination!
