The Naked Bavarian is a no/low swag (ultra) trail run at Blue Marsh Lake, Leesport, PA. The idea is to create a race at a very affordable rate by omitting all the expensive goodies like expensive race shirts, flashy finisher medals or expensive rock band entertainment on the course. Not too long ago you could run an ultra for $1 per mile, but with many trail races selling out due to field limits that are much lower then road runs (for obvious reasons) the entry fee’s were going up. Some high profile ultra’s will cost you a few hundred dollars. We skip all the expensive add ons and focus on what really counts, having a good course, good aid station, good medical support and the chance to test your limits or race others.
The Naked Bavarian takes place on the trails around Blue Marsh Lake. This course will be on the north side of the lake. Basic course is a lollipop. 6.5 Miles out, 7 Mile loop and 6.5 Miles back. 40 Mile runners do it twice (access to your dropbag at mile 20). Mix of 80% single track trail and 20% gravel roads. The trails are not considered difficult by trail running standards, are very runnable but there will be the occasional rock or root. However this time a year the trails might either be snow covered, icy or muddy which will increase difficulty quite a bit.

The Naked Bavarian Trail Runs are lower cost, simple swag, and with great trail support. They have some of the best trail aid stations and with many runners attending you will see someone you know. Aid stations have almost anything you would want or need. At the end there are many food options including soup, hotdogs with sauerkraut, baked cake, candy, and hot coffee/tea/cocoa. Often one can register last minute. No one is running around naked as its a lower cost race.
