This week on The Running Mullet, we're talking about a brand new Pennsylvania ultra, The Wicked Windstone, and why runners are already paying attention. Before the inaugural event has even happened, the team behind Wicked Windstone has been asking questions, collecting feedback, and making changes based on what runners want, creating a race that feels built with the trail community instead of simply for it. It's a refreshing approach in a sport where traditions and race flow often take years to evolve. Of course, the course has plenty to say for itself too - a 5K loop at Windstone Landing Farms. Rolling farmland, wooded singletrack, creek-side trails, pine forest, a climb known as The Wall, and a unique format (The Wicked Reversal!) that could have you running the course in reverse after an air horn sounds. It's a race designed to keep you thinking as much as running. This race includes 100 mile, 100k, 50k, and 5k distances with a universal 30 hour cutoff. We'll dig into why a first-year race is worth a chance, why community input matters, and whether this could become Pennsylvania's next must-run trail event. Sometimes the best races aren't the ones with the longest history. They're the ones willing to build something better from day one.
