Event Details
The Mt. A Trail Challenge takes place on a Saturday in September. The event includes two distances: a 1 mile course and a 5K course. Both start at the summit of Mount Agamenticus.
The event is timed manually using stopwatches by the local York High School Cross Country Team. There are no traditional prizes by age category. Instead, there is a raffle for all participants.
