Steel City Human vs Horse

Steel City Human vs Horse is a simultaneous trail running and horseback endurance event in Burgettstown, PA. Runners and riders start together on the same course to compare completion times. Distances offered for both runners and riders include:

The course is a mix of single track, gravel road, and grassy meadow. A pre-race safety meeting is required for all participants to review trail etiquette and horse-related safety. The equestrian competition is sanctioned by the American Endurance Ride Conference; nonmembers entering the 50k or 50M must pay a one-day membership fee.

Camping is available for horses and humans. Registration closes July 31. A late fee applies to entries after July 19. Refund and transfer rules: full refund less processing fees until July 1; full refund less $50 and processing fees for ride expenses until July 24; no refunds after July 24; bib transfers and horse changes are allowed until July 24. Distance switches are permitted with fee adjustments; refunds for downgrades are available only before July 1.

Veterinary checks will be available on the day before and the event day with times to be determined. The event is run rain or shine; if trails are unsafe, organizers will reroute to gravel roads. All participants must be off course by sunset. Runners and riders have published time cutoffs by distance. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
