FANNY PACK 50k (and 20k)
...a fat butt style fun run for people with fanny packs.
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 9, 2021
8:00 am - 4:30 pm
Ohiopyle, PA
COURSE: A sequence of 2 different 10k loops. They will include some of Baughman, Sugarloaf, Great Gorge, and Ferncliff Trails.
FOR THE 20k: flat loop, then steep loop.
FOR THE 50k: flat, steep, flat, steep, flat.
START LOCATION: Main st and Lincoln
MARKINGS: None. The course will not be marked with streamers and arrows, but good turn-by-turn directions and maps will be emailed, with GPX also available. The trails are well-marked and well-defined in the state park. When you don't know the way, AllTrails does...
CAP: 50 runners. 25 in each distance. Gotta keep it small. Gotta commit. Gotta earn your fanny pack.
REGISTRATION: Email Whatultra @ yahoo.com, and provide your name, age, city, and phone number to sign up. Waivers will be signed at the start.
No packets, shirts, or numbers. Only fanny packs for finishers.
REGISTRATION ENDS OCT 8 at 9pm!
AID: We will have a self-serve aid table set up with food, water, and timing sheets. Bring stuff for yourself and/or stuff to share! You'll probably be close to your car, too, unless 2,819 other cars drove down from Pittsburgh to see the leaves. But you'll probably get there earlier to get a spot because you're running an ultra that day.
CUTOFF: 8.5 hours
LODGING: The woods. There's free camping available in nearby Forbes State Forest. DIY.
ELEVATION: 2000ish for 20k if you're lucky, 4000-5000ft for 50k. No biggie.
RDs/VOLUNTEERS: The race directors will be running (7-8hrs). There may be volunteers that show up. But you can also bring a human volunteer if you want! It's allowed. They'll need to bring a fanny pack from home, though.
FINISHER AWARDS: A fanny pack. This is serious.
FINAL NOTES: It will be gorgeous and fun and tough. And you and a friend should definitely run it. Can't complain though. It's not allowed. You can contribute a couple bucks if you want. It's allowed. Or bring Oreos...
