Mt. A Trail Challenge
York, United States • 19 Sep 2026
Annual Trail Challenge at Mount Agamenticus
The Annual Trail Challenge is a community trail event held at Mount Agamenticus. Participants can run, hike, roll, or stroll on timed courses that start at the summit. Timing is done with stop watches by a local high school cross country team. There are no traditional age category prizes; all participants are eligible for a raffle.
Distances offered:
- 1 Mile
- 5K
The 5K course begins in an open field at the summit, follows the Big A trail around the top, then descends to the Hairpin Turn trail and reaches the first water stop. It continues onto the Ring trail counter-clockwise to a second water stop, then climbs back toward the summit with a short overlap near the connection to Witch Hazelnut trail and finishes at the start area.
The 1 Mile course starts at the center platform, follows the universal access trail around the inner loop and then the outer perimeter, and finishes near the site’s pollinator garden.
Proceeds support Mount A conservation and education efforts. Volunteers are needed for event day and lead-up tasks. Businesses or organizations interested in sponsorship or raffle donations may contact the program’s Conservation Outreach and Education Coordinator.
