Oil Creek
Oct 10, 2026
Founded in 2009, Oil Creek 100 runs three loops of the 50K Gerard Hiking Trail through Oil Creek State Park near Titusville, Pennsylvania — 84–88% single-track and dirt, the rest asphalt — with 17,785 feet of gain across 100.6 miles. The valley was the site of the world's first commercial oil well, and runners pass illuminated replica oil derricks through the Saturday night. A 32-hour cutoff keeps the field honest; in 2024, 68 of 142 starters finished.
