Race Description
Welcome to the Export Trail Running Festival!
EXPORT 100 TRAIL RUN
The Export 100 Trail Run is a 103-mile out-and-back route, with 7,392ft of gain. It encompasses the iconic Westmoreland Heritage Trail, West Penn Trail, as well as the Morosini Reserve, 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 our event.
The Export 100 Aid Stations are below. The bathrooms listed (except Newport Road/Rangos) are heated, with running water for runner/crew use. Aid stations will be fully-stocked with hot food, Tailwind electrolyte and typical 'ultra-style' snacks, except those notated with water.
Pacers may be used after Mile 62, for the remainder of the race.
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.
COAL MINER'S DAUGHTER 13.1
📣 NEW DISTANCE DROP: The Inaugural Half Marathon! We’ve got something incredibly special brewing, and you have the chance to be part of it from day one. The 13.1-miler is a deliberate precursor to a massive, full-scale 'Export Trail Running Festival' with distances ranging from 5k to 100 miles in the coming years! By running this distance now, you are getting an exclusive opportunity to shape the course, the culture, and the future of this event.
🥾 Only 25 Spots Available: We are keeping this strictly grassroots and deeply community-focused this year, so registration is capped at exactly 25 runners who want to be a part of expanding the endurance community in Export. The course begins in downtown Export, at the Westmoreland Heritage Trail trailhead along Community Park Road. The race heads west along the WHT, and turns into Duff Park at the Roberts Trailhead in Murrysville. A loop in Duff, out the connector to Pleasant Valley Park, loop in PVP, before headed back to Duff, onto the WHT and back to finish in Export at the red caboose. Course GPX and specifics TBD.
We’d love to see you race day!
