Worlds End 50K
The course is predominantly rugged single-track that winds it’s way through the Endless Mountains in the Loyalsock State Forest and Worlds End State Park. Your effort will reward you with beautiful overlooks such as Butternut View, High Rock Vista and Canyon Vista – along with spectacular cascades and falls like Alpine Falls and Double Run. You’ll pass many interesting rock formations, take in the tranquility of Sones Pond, and you may even see a bald eagle soar beside you as you traverse the rocky ledge of trail that overhangs the Loyalsock Creek.
This course can be described as “hilly” or “rolling” with it’s steepest sustained climb only being about 1,000 rocky feet. The deceptive part is that there is a never ending supply of shorter climbs that the trail throws at you to give an unexpected overall elevation gain of about 5,900 feet. Combine this with the often rock strewn, technical trail along with the number of times you’ll stop to take in the scenery, and you’ll quickly realize this isn’t a course you’ll try to set any personal records on.
The race was designed around the famed Loyalsock Trail but to complete the loop back to Worlds End State Park, you’ll spend plenty of time exploring side trails of equal beauty. The course runs deep in the Pennsylvania hills with rocky hollows, diverse forests, narrow gorges, and endless views – enough eye candy to keep you busy for your entire run. But don’t linger too long at any one place, you only have 12 hours to complete this race.
