Event Description
Rabid Raccoon 100 takes place in Raccoon Creek State Park, one of Pennsylvania's largest state parks! Winding through the woods, this course will take you on single track trails that travel over hills, across streams, and around Racoon Lake. This is an event you don't want to miss!
Aid Stations + Course Food
There are 5 aid stations spaced out around the loop. This means that 100 mile racers will have 25 aid stations, 100K racers will have 15, and 20 milers will have 5. Aid stations will be equipped with first aid kits, water, Hammer Nutrition's HEED Sports Drink, soda, and food such as pizza, PB&J, bagels, cookies, bananas, granola bars, candy, etc. A more detailed list of exactly what foods will be at each aid station will be released in an email closer to the race date. There are a number of stores and restaurants within a 30 minute drive (check out the Robinson Township Mall) for anyone who has specific dietary restrictions. For information on aid station locations, see the race map tabs above.
Drop Bags
Drop bags will be available at aid stations 1 (Heritage), and 4 (North Nichol Rd.). All drop bags will be delivered back to the start of the race after the aid stations shut down (see aid station cutoff times in the Event Schedule below). Runners or crew may drive to the aid stations to retrieve drop bags. To help make drop bag retrieval as efficient as possible, we ask that you label all drop bags with your race number and name. If you are unable to label your drop bag prior to coming to the race, duct tape and markers will be available at registration on Friday and at the start/finish on Saturday morning.
Restrooms
Portable restrooms will be located at the start/finish area as well as at certain aid stations: 1 (Heritage), 3 (South Nichol Rd.), and 5 (North Route 18). See the race map tabs above for which miles you will pass each station during your race.
Parking
Parking will be available at the Raccoon Creek Beach near the start/finish area. Spectators can also drive to different parts of the course to watch racers during the race.
Awards & Swag
All participants will receive the following swag items at packet pickup: a premium long sleeve performance shirt, Hammer Nutrition Gel, Hammer Nutrition Endurolytes Fizz, and a Wolf Creek drawstring bag to hold it all. All 100k and 100 Mile finishers will receive a custom crafted belt buckle at the finish line.
The 1st place male and female finishers in the 100 Mile will receive a Rabid Raccoon 100 Champion Belt!
The 2nd & 3rd place male and female finishers from each race will also receive a unique award which will be mailed after the event concludes.
