Tussey Mountainback 50-Miler

(We love their slogan: Just for the Hill of It)

Ultra runners and relay racers should check out the Tussey Mountainback 50-Mile Relay and ultra, set for Saturday, Oct. 5 in the beautiful Nittany Valley, near State College, Pa.

The setting is the Tussey Mountain Ski Resort & Rothrock State Forest, in Boalsburg, Pa.

Starting time: 7:30 a.m. for individual ultra runners; 8:30 a.m. for relay teams. The relay consists of 12 pre-determined legs ranging from 2.8 miles to 6.3 miles in distance. Teams must provide their own support vehicles.

There's all kinds of relay combinations, and entry fees correspond with what kind of team you assemble or if you're planning to run it all yourself.

Go to www.nvrun.com/MTB50.html, or call 814-238-5918. Don't delay, because entries close after the first 100 teams and 100 ultra runners have registered.
