Race Along the Abandoned Pennsylvania Turnpike

Runners and walkers have traveled across the US for this unique event! This stretch of the Pennsylvania Turnpike was bypassed in 1968, leaving 2 tunnels and miles of road untouched by traffic for nearly 50 years. At this original old turnpike half marathon, you’ll experience 5 miles of your race underground in the old tunnels and miles surrounded by beautiful fall foliage! We also have a One Tunnel Four Miler option for those wanting to experience the tunnels with a shorter distance. This is a two-day event where each day of road racing will be limited to 500 runners to prevent crowding the course. Save the date for Saturday, October 19 and Sunday, October 20, 2024 in Waterfall, PA.
