Description

Update 8/28/24: ​We regret to inform you that this year's race has been cancelled due to increased yellow jacket activity on the trail, posing safety concerns for participants and volunteers. Thank you for your understanding.​

 

Challenge yourself to complete these arduous miles of steep climbs and rocky terrain punctuated with fantastic vistas and scenic forest hollows. The course is great for both trail runners pushing for their best times on rugged trails and hikers aiming to complete the strenuous challenge before the evening finish cutoff. 

What's in store for 2024?

  • The 2024 Trail Challenge 25K runs north-to-south. You'll start on the course from Pequea Creek Campground, take on the harsh ascent to the Pinnacle Overlook, continue down into Kelly's Run, and cross the finish line in Susquehannock State Park. Picnic and exhibitors will be located at the second pavilion in the park.
  • Check in will be 6:15-7:15am the day of the race.
  • A shuttle will take you from check in to the starting line at 7:30am; arrive at the state park, catch a bus from Susquehannock to Pequea, then finish the hike back at your car. No more waiting on the shuttle in the afternoon.
  • We've partnered with Central Pennsylvania Conservancy's Ironmaster's Challenge again to bring you the Iron Mettle Medal for a second year in a row. Take on double the challenge for this exclusive reward. Runners and hikers who finish both the KTA Trail Challenge 25K and the Ironmaster's Challenge 15K, 20Mile, or 50K will receive this medal.
  • All participants receive a hearty meal at the finish line picnic, a Trail Challenge long sleeve tee (if registration is submitted before August 15), and a one-year membership to Keystone Trails Association. Finishers also receive a wood carved finisher medallion.
