About the race
End of the Road is an October weekend running event in Waterfall, PA, that routes runners along a closed stretch of the old Pennsylvania Turnpike and nearby rural roads. The half marathon course includes about five miles inside long, dark turnpike tunnels; runners pass through unlit, echoing tunnel sections where headlamps are recommended before emerging onto rolling roads framed by autumn foliage and mountain views.
The event offers chip timing, live results, fully supported aid stations, post-race food and beverages, and overall and age group awards. Registered participants receive a long sleeve technical shirt with an upgrade option to a hoodie and a custom finisher medal; Two-Day Challenge entrants receive additional swag. Race weekend programming includes packet pickup at the host hotel, an annual tunnel spray paint session, and an optional movie night on the turnpike.
Distance options include single-race choices and two-day combinations that total longer mileage for consecutive-day runners. The venue address is 3005 Pump Station Rd, Waterfall, PA 16689. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
