Smith's Knob Scramble is a trail race held in Montoursville, PA, centered on the Loyalsock Trail and the steep Smith's Knob. The full Scramble follows the Loyalsock Trail over Smith's Knob. The event is part of the Rocksylvania series in the Slate Division; the shorter Half Scramble is not part of the series.

Available distances:
