Ultramarathons near Erie, Pennsylvania

(Currently UNDER CONSTRUCTION, as of 10/25/14!)

With the help of the internet and many Facebook friends, I have compiled the following list of ultramarathons within driving distance (250 miles) of Erie, Pennsylvania.   Who knew that we had SO MANY wonderful races within the area?!   

I have included the month when the race is typically held.  Refer to the official websites for each race for further information. 

Also, your help is needed!  If anyone would like to provide a short, 2-3 sentence description of any of these courses, feel free to post a comment or send me a message and I'll add your description.  I'll be sure to give you credit as well!  Thank you so much.

If any information is wrong or links are broken, please let me know.
