LHHT Ultra Race

LHHT Ultra Race Laurel Highlands Ultra races are held on the second Saturday in June.

2014 will mark the 35th running of the 70.5 mile race. A waiting list will be available.

Welcome to the FB Page for the 35th running of the Laurel Highlands Ultra, one of the finest trail races in the United States. The 70.5 mile race traverses the entire Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail in southwestern Pennsylvania, combining beautiful scenery with challenging terrain. Please plan to join us on the second Saturday in June as the tradition continues on this pristine trail.

** Due to ou

r new found popularity as a Western States qualifier, we expect the race to fill up quickly. A 50 km trail race was added in 2006. The 50k race is also a point-to-point race, beginning in Ohiopyle and ending at the trailhead near Route 31. The course is one of the more difficult 50k's in the country as it climbs out of the Youghiogheny River Gorge before traversing the terrain around the area ski resorts. Both 70.5 mile and 50k team relay races are open to the weekend warrior. If you're not up to the challenge of the run, but interested in the sport, please consider volunteering for the day. http://www.laurelultra.com
