CASTANEA — For only the second time in six years, an out-of-state competitor took the top spot in the Bald Eagle Mountain Megatransect Saturday. But, if the trend in numbers of participants from outside Pennsylvania continues to grow as it has in recent years, that may become more commonplace in the future. In 2003, the first year for the event, about 130 people represented Pennsylvania and four other states — Maryland, New York, Ohio and New Hampshire. Nearly half the states in the country — 22, to be exact — were represented at this year’s race, where registration was capped at 600, leaving 300 others on a waiting list. Boyds, Md., native Steve Smith was first to cross the finish line, with a time of 4 hours, 45.34 minutes. “This was awesome, just awesome,” Smith said shortly after the race. “This is such a cool race because it’s not your average trail race. It’s really participant-oriented.
