SAT, JUNE 8, 2024 will be the forty-fifth consecutive running of the Laurel Highlands 70.5 mile race and the nineteenth running of the 50K race. We would like to acknowledge that the land on which we run the Laurel Highlands Ultra is the original homelands of the Monongahela, Shawnee and other nomadic nations. We acknowledge the painful history of genocide and forced removal from this territory, and we honor and respect the many diverse Indigenous peoples still connected to this land. 

Laurel Highlands welcomes racers of every race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics or disability. 

The races start in Ohiopyle, PA, with the 70.5 mile individual and 70.5 relay races running the entire length of the Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail to Rt 56 in Seward, PA. The 50K races finishing at the 31 mile point near the intersection of Route 31. All of the races are point-to-point.
