Sinnemahone Ultra Trail Run Finishes Strong

Sinnemahone Ultra Trail Run saw the number of participants double from 2015. “Offering three courses of various lengths attracts a variety of participants, from the novice that wants to hike to the experienced trail runner,” says race director, Craig Hudson. The race began Saturday morning at 7:30 with a canon start in downtown Emporium and the final runner crossed the finish line 9 hours later. The trail includes West Creek Rails Trails and DCNR forestry trails.

Two records were broken. In the 50k Josua Gorman from St Marys shattered his previous record, and ran the 33 miles in a time of 4:39:53. In the 25k Carol Dudulcovich from Port Matilda took the top spot in the women division with a time of 2:17:42.

Planning for the 2017 race is underway. The date is Saturday October 21. Registration will open January 1.
