About the Oil Creek 100 Trail Runs

Oil Creek runs through rugged, heavily wooded terrain on the Gerard Hiking Trail inside Oil Creek State Park. The course is genuine single-track, the kind that climbs and drops repeatedly through forest with roots and uneven footing throughout. Reflective flags and orange cones mark the way for those running into the dark. Several distance options range from a short morning effort to a full hundred-mile sufferfest.

Race headquarters is Titusville Middle School, which also serves as the start, the finish, and a mid-course aid station. Post-race showers are available there. Pacers are welcome and must check in either at the school or at one of the trail aid stations. Packet pickup the day before is at a location announced closer to race weekend.

Common Questions About the Oil Creek 100 Trail Runs

Will I finish last at the Oil Creek 100 Trail Runs?

Almost certainly not. Half the 50K field finished slower than 7:49:18, and the last recorded finisher came in around 14:18:15, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Oil Creek 100 Trail Runs a good first 50K?

It is a small race (121 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 50K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Oil Creek 100 Trail Runs?

The 50K winner ran 4:16:00 while the median finisher took 7:49:18. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
