Race Description
The Export 100 Trail Run is a 101-mile out-and-back route encompassing the iconic Westmoreland Heritage Trail, West Penn Trail, as well as the Morosini Preserve, Duff and Pleasant Valley Parks during the changing October colors in western Pennsylvania. 100% of profits to benefit our trail community! There is a 32-hour cut-off for the Export 100, with +/-6,629 ft of ascent/descent.
The Export 100 Aid Stations are below. The bathrooms listed (except Newport Road Trailhead/Rangos) are heated, with running water for runner/crew use. Aid stations will be fully-stocked (Full) with hot food, all fluids and typical 'ultra-style' snacks, except those notated with water, which will have water, and electrolyte drink.
Pacers may be used after Mile 64, for the remainder of the race. I will be in touch with Pacer information, and their waiver. In the future, when the Westmoreland Heritage Trail is complete, we will not have to run the few miles along Old Route 22 (2-lane road), but in the meantime, for pure safety reasons, this is the best course of action.
Overall, the course is incredibly accessible for family and friends. You can honestly 'see' your runner for a majority of this route. The Westmoreland Heritage Trail, and the West Penn Trail, can have bicycles on the route, and is 100% open to the public. However, the single back trails up in the Morosini Reserve, Duff Park and Pleasant Valley Park will be runnable only.
