Lost Souls – The Race That Finds You 2026 — Pittsburgh, PA

Lost Souls - The Race That Finds You Saturday, December 12th, 2026 Background: Last Trail Standing (november) and Rise Up Hero (may) are awesome sister races along the trails of Settlers Cabin Park that both offer various race distances up to 50K. BUT... I've been wanting to create a different kind of race. One that would truly test people mentally, physically, and emotionally. So...I went searching for the most challenging small loop at Settlers Cabin Park. And… I think I found it. A brutal 3.23-mile trail loop that climbs 643 feet of elevation every lap. Here's how the race works: You can sign up for the 5K Loopy Loop if you simply want to experience the course and enjoy the challenge. Or… You can sign up for the ENDURE Challenge and enjoy as many brutal loops as you like. For this challenge, runners complete as many loops as they can within the allotted time. Each loop brings you back to the start, where you must decide: Do you go back out… or do you say enough is enough. The maximum is 10 loops, making it a 50K ultra with over 6,430 feet of elevation gain. Awards will be given to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd overall male and female runners who complete all 10 loops. This race isn't just for ultra runners wanting an incredibly hard 50K challenge. It's also for the people who want to dig deep and see how far they can go. The spirit of the race is to endure for as long as you can. And once you're ready to tap, you ring the bell and you receive a unique keep sake—a reminder of the moment you faced the course, the struggle, and what you discovered about yourself along the way. Lost Souls isn’t just about finishing. It’s about finding out how much you can endure and what you learn about yourself along the way. It's when we're the most broken, that we see our truest self. If it breaks you, if finds you.
