White Haven, United States • 13 Sep 2025

The Boulder Field 100 is a challenging trail running event held at Hickory Run State Park in Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania. It offers three distances: 100K, 50K, and an 18-mile run/hike. The course features a figure-8 shaped 50K loop, with 100K runners completing two loops.

Runners encounter about 4,000 feet of elevation gain per 50K, a rugged boulder field crossing, and a tough one-mile section known as the Shades of Death Trail. The terrain is mostly single-track and multi-use trails with minimal road running. Time limits are 16 hours for the 100K and 14 hours for the 50K, making the shorter race accessible to hikers.
