Brush Tunnel Marathon and Half Marathon

Event Date: October 3, 2029Event Location: Cumberland, MD

It has been an absolutely fantastic four years of running on the Great Allegheny Passage and the wonderful Brush Tunnel. Frank and Mike of Altis Endurance Sports absolutely love to conduct the Brush Tunnel Marathon and Half Marathon. However, this event is being sidelined for three to four years due to our 9-5 jobs and to allow Altis Endurance Sports to pursue other race directing options.

To view a listing of all the Altis Endurance Sports race please go to altisendurance.com/events.

The 2019 Mid-Atlantic Marathon and Half Marathon Series will take place from September 28th-October 2nd. The events in the Series are the Cross County Trail Marathon and Half, the C&O Marathon and Half, the Eastern Panhandle Marathon and Half, the Hancock Marathon and Half, and the GAP Trestles Marathon and Half. In order, the series races take place in VA, DC, WV, MD, and PA. Run one, some, or all the Mid-Atlantic Marathon and Half Marathon Series races.

This event will take place in its entirety in Maryland on the outstanding Great Allegheny Passage (GAP). Half marathon runners will run through the 914 foot long Brush Tunnel 10 times, and the marathon runners will run through the tunnel 20 times. The course consists of running out-and-backs on 1.31 scenic miles of the GAP in the hills above Cumberland – more on the course below. This event is limited to 60 runners. The start/finish is on the trail in the GAP Trailhead parking area just south of 11407 Cash Valley Road NW Cumberland, MD 21502.

“These are small low key races with limited runners allowed with outstanding support and views of the Great Allegheny Passage, great area to visit.”

Henry Rueden
