Pine Creek Challenge
100 mile or 100 kilometer run
on the Pine Creek Rail Trail in beautiful Wellsboro PA!
The "Pine Creek Challenge" is just that, a place to challenge yourself by seeing how far or how fast you can run.
It will be a scenic trail run
along Pine Creek in northern Pennsylvania. The Pine Creek Rail Trail
stretches 63 miles from Wellsboro Junction to Jersey Shore and is
repeatedly listed as one of the finest bike rides in the Northeast.
We have set up an out and back course that uses 50 miles of the
upper canyon section. This section is through the "Grand Canyon
of the East", the Pine Creek Gorge. The Gorge stretches for 47 miles. It is nearly a mile wide and 1,450
feet deep at its deepest point. This section of Pine Creek is listed
as a National Natural Landmark. It's popular with canoeists and
rafters in the spring
and trout fishermen are drawn here all year long.
