About the End of the Road Half Marathon & One Tunnel 4 Miler
The course runs through the tunnels of the old Pennsylvania Turnpike, abandoned for decades and now used only for events like this. Inside, it is dark enough that a headlamp is required, and the pavement is uneven in places, so footing matters. The route out feels nearly flat, but the return trip reveals a gradual climb you barely noticed going the other way.
Packet pickup happens the evening before at a hotel in Breezewood, with additional pickup at the race site on both mornings. Parking is at the start and finish area, though there is only one road in and out, so arriving early helps. The start area also hosts an outdoor movie night on the old turnpike the first evening of race weekend.

The End of the Road Half Marathon & One Tunnel 4 Miler has been held every year since at least 2017. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Jul 27, 2026.
