Pine Creek Challenge

The Pine Creek Challenge is a scenic trail running event held in Wellsboro, Pennsylvania, featuring distances of 100 miles, 100K, 50 miles, and a marathon. The course follows the Pine Creek Rail Trail, a 63-mile crushed stone path through the Pine Creek Gorge, known as the "Grand Canyon of the East." This out-and-back route showcases stunning natural landmarks, including a nearly mile-wide gorge up to 1,450 feet deep, bald eagle nesting sites, and abundant wildlife. The trail is beginner-friendly, flat with a slight grade, and free of motorized traffic.

The event offers a challenging yet picturesque experience amid early fall foliage. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
