Naked Nick - December 13, 2026

The Naked Nick is an ultrarunning event taking place at Blue Marsh Lake in Leesport, Pennsylvania. The event offers two distances: a 25 km and a 50 km run. The course is on the south side of the lake and follows a lollipop shape, consisting of 80% single-track trail and 20% gravel roads. Organizers note the trails are generally runnable but may be snowy, icy, or muddy in December.

The entry fee is $39 for the 25 km and $49 for the 50 km. Runners must finish by 5:00 PM. Timing is done via an old-fashioned tear-off bib system. Aid stations with Gatorade, water, and snacks are provided at multiple points along the course. The approximate elevation gain is 1500 feet for the 25 km and 3000 feet for the 50 km.

Awards are given to the top three overall finishers and the top three in several age groups. All finishers receive a small German-style memento. Post-race food is provided. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
