State College, PA

State College sits in the Ridge and Valley province of central Pennsylvania, surrounded by State Forest terrain that makes this a cycling hub. The Central Cycling Classic and Rothrock GRIT Gravel Grinder showcase the region's mix of paved rolling hills and technical gravel—Rothrock State Forest to the south offers 300+ metres of climbing on singletrack and forest roads. Runners have flatter ground in town along the Houserville trail system and local 5Ks like Fall Feet 5K, but serious trail running means heading into the surrounding ridges where elevation gain is substantial.
