Hyner View Trail Challenge : April 17, 2027
The Hyner View Trail Challenge in Hyner, PA is organized by PA Trail Dogs and offers trail races at the following distances:
- 50K
- 25K
Registration closes Wed, Feb 17 at 11:59 PM ET. The organizer enforces a strict registration policy: no refunds, no deferrals, no bib switches, no transfers, and no bandits. Contesting the rules can result in a ban from PA Trail Dog events. If a waitlist exists, organizers may invite runners who volunteer or who have completed other Trail Dog events before inviting others.
Course access is remote with no on-course parking and narrow mountain roads. Spectator access points are limited: the only accessible 25K aid station is Hyner View State Park at mile 4. For the 50K, spectator access areas are Hyner View State Park at mile 3 and Hyner Run State Park at miles 10 and 25.
Cutoffs are hard to enforce finish-time limits. For the 25K runners must reach the View (mile 4) by 11:30 AM and mile 8.5 aid station by 2:00 PM. For the 50K required cutoffs include mile 7.5 by 10:30 AM, mile 17 by 1:00 PM, and mile 25 by 3:15 PM. Runners who miss specific cutoffs may be pulled or directed to the shorter course.
Bib pickup is Friday April 16 from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM and Saturday April 17 in morning windows for each distance. There is no electricity or water at the site; participants are asked to fill packs or bottles beforehand. An ice trailer will be available behind the registration tent. The event does not employ course photographers; volunteer photos may be shared after the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
