Annual Trail Challenge : Saturday, September 19 (YEAR 10)
The Annual Trail Challenge is held at Mount Agamenticus. The event offers timed participation for people who run, hike, roll, or stroll. Registration will open in 2026. Timing is done manually with stopwatches by the York Highschool Cross Country Team. There are no traditional age-category prizes; all participants are eligible for a raffle. Funds raised support Mount Agamenticus conservation and education programs. Volunteers are recruited for event-day and lead-up roles. Businesses and organizations may sponsor or donate raffle prizes.
