Pine Creek Challenge

The Pine Creek Challenge is a scenic trail ultramarathon held in Wellsboro, Pennsylvania, offering 100 Miler, 100K, 50 Miler, and Marathon distances. The out-and-back course uses 25 miles of the upper Canyon section through the Pine Creek Gorge, the Grand Canyon of the East and a National Natural Landmark. The rail trail surface is fine crushed stone, about 20 feet wide, with virtually no puddles and no motorized traffic. Runners enjoy a beginner-friendly atmosphere amid abundant wildlife, including bald eagles and river otters, and spectacular fall foliage as the route follows a gentle 2% grade over the 63-mile rail corridor. The Gorge’s scenery and wildlife are standout features. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
