Course & Travel Notes

The Happy Valley Town Series takes place in mid-September when typical weather brings highs around 72°F and lows near 54°F, with rain occurring on about a third of days, so pack layers and consider rain gear. The 5:50 PM start time means you'll be racing well after sunset, so plan for evening conditions and bring appropriate lighting or reflective gear. The venue sits at 1102 feet elevation near Boalsburg, Pennsylvania, which should require minimal acclimatization for most runners. State College Regional Airport (SCE) is just 5.9 miles away, making it a convenient option for traveling to the race.
