About the race
The Stockville is a two day foot and navigation event held in Slate Run, PA. It is inspired by mountain marathons from Europe and the UK and emphasizes map reading, route choice, and backcountry travel over two consecutive days. Each morning racers receive maps of a linear, point to point course that moves through central Pennsylvania wildlands. The final checkpoint on Day 1 is at midcamp, which also serves as the start area for Day 2 and as a community campout with shared evening activities and midcamp snacks.
Each day includes a mandatory route that all entrants must complete to officially finish the event. Optional checkpoints provide additional, more advanced off trail navigation for teams that choose them. Racers must carry all food and personal gear for the event; organizers will transport tents and cooking supplies to midcamp. Spot gear checks may occur and missing mandatory gear carries penalties.
Event divisions include solos and teams of two to four, in single gender and mixed gender categories. The event is sanctioned and insured by USARA and each participant must hold an annual membership or purchase a single event license. Entry typically includes custom swag, live tracking, a comprehensive safety team, post race meal, camping at midcamp, on course logistics, and overnight parking.
