Where: Pine Grove Furnace State Park and Michaux State Forest in Gardners, PA
Join Central Pennsylvania Conservancy for our 14th annual Ironmaster’s Challenge. This trail challenge features two separate events, a 50k and 15k. Both races culminating in a finish-line picnic celebration at the Ironmaster’s Mansion at Pine Grove Furnace State Park, the famed halfway point along the Appalachian National Scenic Trail. We look forward to celebrating public lands, outdoor recreation, and Pennsylvania’s Fall beauty — you will experience the same rock scrambles, grueling ascents, ridgeline vistas, spring wildflowers, rushing streams and lakesides, and epic single track trails through Michaux State Forest.
All proceeds from the race support Central PA Conservancy’s mission to acquire, preserve and protect local land and natural resources through land acquisition, conservation easements, and outreach.
