Rise & Run Ultra

Wellsboro, United States • 19 Jul 2025

Rise & Run Ultra is a mountain trail race held in Wellsboro, Pennsylvania, along the scenic West Rim Trail in the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon. The event offers two distances: a challenging 50K and a new 25K option, both featuring out-and-back courses with minimal aid—one aid station and one water drop for the 50K, and one water drop for the 25K. Starting before dawn, the race emphasizes a back-to-basics, self-supported experience with a pocket-friendly entry fee. Participants aim to finish by noon and are rewarded with a branded camp cup and a post-race breakfast. The first male and female finishers earn free entry for the following year.
