Welcome to the “ Sinnemahone” (official name the “Sinnemahone Ultra Marathon Trail Run”).
This race is a 33.02 mile (53.14K) run conducted mostly on Pennsylvania Department of Conservation’s Elk State Forest Lands. A number of sections of this race follow the Bucktail Path which has been called the most isolated of the Pennsylvania’s wilderness trails. In addition to the Sinnemahone two other races are offered for those looking for a lesser challenge, a shorter trail run that starts and finishes on the same path as The Sinnemahone but deviates in the middle for a shorter distance (16.24 mile (26.14K)), and an even shorter (7.50 Miles (12.5K) trail run that also starts and finishes on the same path as the Sinnemahone 50K and deviates in the middle for a taste of trail running. The October race date puts it near the peak Fall foliage resulting in a beautiful course.
The starting point for all three races is in the center of the town of Emporium, the county seat of Cameron County. It follows the West Creek Rails to Trails to the edge of town where it turns left onto Second Street for a hundred yards. The course then turns right onto State Route 120 for 150 yards where it turns left onto State Route 155. These roads are closed for the start of the race.
