Escape From Prison Hill

The Escape from Prison Hill Half Marathon offers all of the winding single track, scenic vistas and 2800′ of elevation gain, all packed into a challenging 13 miles. There is a strict 2-hr cutoff at the Snyder Aid station (at 7 miles).

The 10K might be one of the more difficult 10K races with a challenging 900′ climb right from the start, and the same descent at the end, when your legs are tired! There is an overall gain 1600′ over the 10K so bring your low gear! There is a 1-hour cutoff at the first aid station. If you don’t make it to the Boy Scouts within 1 hour, you will be turned around.

For both races, be sure to spot the iconic dead truck as you work your way up Dead Truck Canyon!

The 5K course has 700′ of elevation to get significant trail and hill time beginners can really use. A good climb, steep, soft, sandy descent, and single track to give a new trail runner some confidence!
