Ironstone 100K
The Ironstone 100K is a point to point 100 kilometer ultramarathon in the Ridge and Valley region of Pennsylvania. The course starts at Canoe Creek State Park in Blair County and finishes at Greenwood Furnace State Park in Huntingdon County. It follows the Standing Stone, Mid State, and Lower Trails.
The route includes a fast, flat rail trail section along the Frankstown Branch of the Juniata River on the Lower Trail and extensive ridge running atop Tussey Mountain on the Mid State Trail, with sandstone and quartzite ridgelines. Other landmarks along the course include old growth pines at Alan Seeger Natural Area, a mountain pass at Little Juniata Natural Area, and craggy ledges at Indian Wells before the route joins the Standing Stone Trail to the finish. The course contains technical terrain, a limited number of aid stations, no pacers, and sections of night running. Runners must complete the distance within 23 hours. Finishers receive a metal award, a flannel shirt, and free beer and beverages. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
