Worlds End Fall Classic - A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing

The Worlds End Fall Classic has a reputation as one of the toughest and most scenic trail half marathons in the state.

The Worlds End Fall Classic is a challenging half marathon that explores Worlds End State Park and Loyalsock State Forest in the Endless Mountains of Pennsylvania. The route is mostly rugged, scenic-dense single-track trails with multiple waterfalls and vistas of the beautiful Endless Mountains and has an elevation gain of 3,200 ft. We support you with 2 aid stations and challenge you with a strict 5 hour cutoff. Though this race has no qualification standards or registration restrictions, be aware that this is not an entry level course for a trail novice. You should have some trail experience before attempting this course.

Fall Classic (non-competitive)

The Fall Classic is the non-competitive field, running at the same time and on the same course as the Smackdown! There is no pressure to compete and all the fun of Worlds End! Sign up under this field if you don't plan on trying to win an award.

The East Coast SmackDown! (competitive)

Running the same course and at the same time as the non-competitive field, we’ve devised this SmackDown as a chance for everyday runners to pit themselves against the wild beauty of the region and against the best athletes in the region - and to do so as a grassroots effort to engage in more friendly and rewarding competition without being encumbered by big sponsors or outside influences. You don't need to be part of any club or pay dues to some organization, we invite all those who think they have the determination and daring to compete in an awesome place like Worlds End to join us at the SmackDown.

We take great pride in recognizing and celebrating the incredible accomplishments of our winners. The top male and female finishers in the overall category will receive awards along with those who place second and third! We also recognize that champions are not just the young guns and our sport of trail running encompasses those with a long resume spanning decades. With that in mind, The East Coast SmackDown will present awards to the top overall finishers in the Masters category (40 and over) along with second and third place!
