Charlie Horse Half Marathon 2012 : This course is isolated and has 13.1 miles (give or take) of running through shallow water, across rocks, roots, downed trees, bugs, snakes, hills and maybe even mud, thru a gun club (DUCK!) and connecting to 7 miles of the Horseshoe trail; ending at the Sleepy Hollow A.C. This may start in a park setting and seem peaceful, but this "trip over trouble" is not a "walk in the park" course (which may be why we do not allow "walkers"). This will be challenging and a fun day. You will also have included in your fun filled day, a back country road section with a few more hills. http://pretzelcitysports.com/

Chilly Cheeks 2012 Trail Race : "The Chilly Cheeks is 7+ miles that will make you see stars (REAL stars, not people like Jessica Simpson, Rob Kardashian or anyone who has ever appeared on Celebrity Rehab). While it may be a little shorter than you would expect for a major challenge, by the 5 mile mark, you will be wishing it was even shorter still. Flatter, too! It tours the mountain overlooking the Pretzel Capital of the world and has rocks & roots, dirt & debris, maybe snow & ice and more rises and falls than most 401k plans in the past 3 years. It is NOT Pretzel City Sports' hardest race, but on a per mile basis, it is darn close and is a real challenge for even the Type A’s who would normally laugh at the concept of only running 7 miles. Yet, it is a very doable for people who can recite the dollar menu at McDonalds from memory; you don’t get to be the 4th or 5th largest rustic trail run in the US by being THAT un-doable. It’s just that you WILL remember portions of this event like Mt Whadafug for days and days and days to come! Yet, as challenging as the race is, once you scale the last climb and sprint to the finish, it ends with pure bliss at the Reading Liederkrantz German Singing & Sports Club where you can purchase cold German beer, eat a free hot breakfast, listen to semi-live music and discuss with your fellow “victims” how surprising it is that a race this short could be this brutal. LEGAL LINGO: You race at your own risk; you alone are responsible for your welfare at all times!! While we are very adept at finding video, on YouTube, of people falling on their crotch while performing stunts (a scene that NEVER fails to entertain), the chance of us finding you if you get off course is smaller than the list of MTVeejays that still get recognized on the street. However, it is that well marked that you’ll only get lost if you are unconscious on your feet. The same goes if you get hurt. As runners, we have the arm strength of a 6 year old, so if you get dinged, please crawl to a spot where our Mobile Burial Unit can spring into action." - from Pretzel City Sports

Evansburg Challenge USATF 10 Mile Trail Race : The Evansburg Challenge continues to provide a wonderful chance for grownups to cavort on the mud, play in the creek and run thru the woods with hardly any clothes on. This park's rustic but very doable trails provide great fall scenery to the runners, a placid retreat for the neighboring stables and a mud that could make your shoes grow from a size 9 to an 11 even before you finish; it's THAT fertile! The "EC" is a great race for newbies that want to try a trail run. The trails are flat, fairly clean and you pass the finish at 4.5 miles, in case if you've bitten off more than you can chew. And yet its two shallow but wide creek crossings, its legendary mud "potential" and its closeness to Philly helps it attract some of the best & most gonzo "trailers" in the region. - from Pretzel City Sports Results: http://pretzelcitysports.com/userfiles/file/11%20evansburg%20challenge%2010%20mile%20trail%20res.pdf

Blues Cruise 50k 2011 : The Blues Cruise 50K Trail Ultra race is suitable for first time ultra runners as well as seasoned runners. We are able to reach this goal by having a course that is very runnable, not too technical, but challenging enough to make it interesting for everyone. Our themed aid stations are well stocked and serviced by local (ultra) runners. The Blues Cruise 50K 2011 will feature a new course. On giant 31 Mile loop around the lake featuring 95% single track. I believe this will be one of the coolest 50K courses around, and is only possible due to the great support of the Pacoda Pacers.
