About the Happy Valley Town Series (9/16, 9/23, & 9/30)
The races run off-road behind the Lodge at Tussey Mountain, after dark, with the results going up on a large screen as they come in. There are no podiums. The course is mountain-bike-optimized but tame enough for gravel or cross bikes, and runners and cyclists share the same event night.
The whole thing doubles as an outdoor expo, with live music and food alongside the racing. Local adventure and outdoor groups set up each week, and the course is laid out so spectators can watch from most of it. Helmets are required for anyone on a bike; no e-bikes allowed.

The Happy Valley Town Series (9/16, 9/23, & 9/30) has been held every year since at least 2025. 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 Sep 20, 2026.
