Join Central Pennsylvania Conservancy for our 14th annual Ironmaster’s Challenge during the first Fall weekend of 2023! Runners will experience rock scrambles, challenging ascents, ridgeline vistas, Fall wildflowers, rushing streams, lakesides, and epic single track trails as they explore the beauty of Michaux State Forest.

The 50k and 15k races both culminate at 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. The Park offer camping by reservation, within walking distance of the race starting point. Spectators can join runners at the Brickyard Pavilion for the race start and again as the runners enter the final leg of the race.

Central Pennsylvania Conservancy, our race partners, and sponsors look forward to celebrating public lands, outdoor recreation, and the first Fall weekend in Pennsylvania. We hope you’ll join us!

 


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.
