Location

The 13.1 mile course begins & ends on the Penn State campus in State College, Pennsylvania, touring through rolling countryside, along scenic Spring Creek and through quaint Houserville. The start line is at the Snider Ag Arena.  

We have a detailed course map with elevation profile HERE. Past participants, please look over the map, as the course has a few changes from previous years.

In the event there is snow on the ground, we will use a slightly different route.  HERE is the alternative detailed course map with elevation profile. 


Outdoor port-a-potties will be available at the Ag Arena and on Rock Road.
