The 2024 Discovery Training Series covers the course over 8 Saturday mornings. For runners interested in training on the Tussey mOUnTaiNBACK 50 Mile Relay and Ultramarathons course, or just some beautiful runs on rolling forest roads, this staged series of weekly runs covers the 12 legs of the 50-mile course, one or two at a time. The 8-week schedule is provided below. There are no trails on these runs or on the 50-mile or 50K race course.
​
The Discovery Series runs are held on Saturday mornings, and runners meet at various locations, as noted below. Runners meet at 7:30 a.m. and begin the run at 8:00 a.m. each week. We love to have people volunteer to shuttle runners from the meeting place to the starting location of each run, but this is something that is typically arranged by the participants that show up that day. Shuttles are NOT provided by the event organizer.
