Description

Now in its eighteenth year, hundreds of athletes have come from all over the US to run 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! You will get an opportunity to spend 5 miles of your race underground in the old tunnels, so a headlamp or flashlight is required!  Trivium has partnered with the Bedford Fulton Joint Recreation Authority in order to raise funds to develop this abandoned road into a greenway so that runners and bikers can enjoy the route for years to come.  Come race the original old turnpike half marathon!

There will be two Half Marathons - one on Saturday and one Sunday. There is also a Tunnel 4 Mile race on Sunday.  Each day of racing will be limited to 500 runners to accommodate more athletes without crowding the out-and-back course!

A headlamp or flashlight is required for this event as there are no lights in the tunnels you will run through!
