End of the Road Half Marathon & One Tunnel 4 Miler Race Details
The latest details from your Race Directors:
End of the Road Half Marathon (October 24–25, 2026 · Waterfall, PA) is one of Pennsylvania’s most unique fall races. Choose the Half Marathon or 4 miler and run through two long, dark tunnels on the abandoned Pennsylvania Turnpike, surrounded by peak autumn foliage.
Looking for an October race that’s unlike anything else in the state? This event takes runners deep into history along a stretch of highway bypassed in 1968 and untouched by cars for nearly 50 years. The course blends five miles of tunnel running with rolling rural roads and stunning mountain scenery.
Not ready for 13.1 miles? If you’ve run a 5K before, the 4 Miler is the perfect next step. It’s approachable for newer runners, fun for walkers, and still gives you the full thrill of racing through the famous abandoned tunnels. Curious what it's like to run through the tunnels? Watch our End of the Road Half Marathon & 4 Mile preview video with footage from 2024 participant, Natasha.
Race Options:
Half Marathon – Saturday or Sunday (choose your day)
One Tunnel 4 Mile – Sunday
Two-Day Challenges:
26.2 Road Closed Rambler – Half Marathon Saturday + Half Marathon Sunday
17.1 Tunnel Traveler – Half Marathon Saturday + One Tunnel 4 Miler Sunday
Why Runners Love It:
Run through 5 miles of tunnels – a headlamp or flashlight is required
Limited field sizes each day for an uncrowded course
Official pacers for both Half Marathons to help you hit your time goals
Movie Night on the Turnpike Saturday evening (The Addams Family in 2025)
Host hotel near the start/finish that hosts packet pickup (book early—sold out last year)
Now in its eighteenth year, this race has welcomed runners from across the U.S., raising funds for The Old PA Pike’s efforts to turn the abandoned turnpike into a permanent greenway for runners, walkers, and cyclists.
Be part of one of Pennsylvania’s most talked-about October races—and one of the most memorable courses you’ll ever run.
