Red Barn Challenge

The Red Barn Challenge is an annual running event held at Marzella Farm in Lykens, PA, featuring 24-hour, 12-hour, and 6-hour races. Participants navigate a one-mile loop course primarily composed of grass and mulch, with an elevation gain of approximately 70 feet per mile. The event emphasizes community and camaraderie, offering a variety of food options at aid stations and a festive atmosphere with enthusiastic volunteers. Camping is available throughout the weekend, and the event supports local organizations. Awards are presented to top finishers in each category, along with a cozy sweatshirt or blanket for participants. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
