Salt Springs Field, Forest & Falls Trail Races
The Salt Springs Field, Forest & Falls Trail Races take place at Salt Springs Park in Montrose, PA. The event offers multiple distances that run on technical single track through old growth forest and wetlands, with varied terrain and scenic views.
- 5K: course almost entirely on trail.
- 10K: includes a flat Wetlands section past fields and streams and three steep climbs.
- 50K: five loop course on the 10K route, totaling 7,000+ feet of elevation gain.
All courses include steep climbs, fast runnable single track sections, and technical descents. The 50K includes a fully stocked aid station at the start of each loop (approximately every 6.5 miles); any additional fuel or nutrition needed between aid stations must be carried. Pacers are not permitted for the 50K, poles are allowed, and runners may leave personal drop bags at the aid station area. The 50K is not intended for beginners and enforces a strict cutoff for the final lap.
The event benefits Friends of Salt Springs Park, a volunteer run organization that helps maintain and conserve the park trails. Post race provisions include a breakfast service, beverages, and timed results provided by chip timing. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
