Conquer the Canyon Marathon Race Festival - Wellsboro, PA
Conquer the Canyon is scheduled for July 25, 2026 at Race Site, 5440 US-6, Wellsboro, PA 16901. The event offers multiple race distances on a course that combines road and trail surfaces.

The full marathon is two loops of the half marathon course and is a certified Boston Marathon qualifier (certification number PA22017NP). The half marathon is an out-and-back loop with a 6.5543 mile outbound leg to the turnaround. The first 4.2 miles of that loop are paved and hilly; the next 2.3 miles follow a hard-packed dirt trail with little auto traffic. The 5K runs out 1.55 miles and returns to the finish; the 10K runs out 3.1 miles and returns.
Awards are given to top overall finishers and to top age-group finishers in male, female and non-binary categories; age groups include 15 & under, 16-19, 20-29, and continuing by decade up to 80+. First-time half and full marathon finishers receive a commemorative plaque in addition to their finisher medal.
Race entry includes a t-shirt, finisher medal and running ankle socks. Additional event services listed include live/text/email results, free finish-line photos, and personalized bibs for registrants who sign up at least three weeks before the event. Pre-race packet pickup is available the Friday before the race at the maintenance sheds on Colton Road, approximately 0.5 miles in from the Burnin' Barrel Bar and Restaurant on Route 6. A single early start option is available for the half and full (no early starts for 5K or 10K); no awards are given for early starts and early starters are asked to maintain a target pace around a 15 minute mile.
