Sinnemahone Trail Run

The Sinnemahone Ultra Trail Fun Race offers runners and hikers an unforgettable adventure through rugged terrain on October 16, 2027. The race features three challenging distances: the 12k, 25k, and a grueling 50k course that winds through scenic trails with breathtaking views of rolling hills and dense forests.
For those tackling the full marathon distance of 50 kilometers, prepare for an elevation gain of over 1.2 kilometers and a similar descent as you navigate single-track paths totaling nearly 20km. The race is marked by red flagging tape to guide participants along the route, which includes seven aid stations staffed by dedicated volunteers from Mountaineer Search & Rescue.
Safety remains paramount; all runners must adhere to strict cut-off times at specific aid stations: reach station #5 by 13:30, station #6 by 14:30 and station #7 by 15:30. These checkpoints ensure that everyone completes the course before nightfall for a safe finish.
Registration packets are available on October 15 from 6am to 7am at Emporium's historic downtown location, just two blocks away from the start-finish line. This convenient spot offers ample space and restroom facilities for participants to gear up in comfort. Early registrants will also receive race t-shirts during pickup.
Post-race celebrations include awards ceremonies where top male and female finishers across all distances claim hand-carved walking sticks by Nelson Haas, while 50k age-group winners earn special medals. The event's vibrant atmosphere is further enhanced with volunteer photographers capturing memorable moments along the course, which will be shared on social media platforms.
The Sinnemahone Ultra Trail Fun Race promises an invigorating blend of natural beauty and competitive spirit for all participants to cherish long after crossing the finish line.
