Tiadaghton Trail Challenge
The Tiadaghton Trail Challenge is a trail running event near Waterville, Pennsylvania, hosted at the Tiadaghton State Forest Resource Management Center. The event offers two race distances and follows singletrack, old wagon roads, forest service roads, and rail trail sections through Pine Creek Valley.
The course terrain is technical and rocky with moss covered sections, steep climbs, and fast descents. Scenic features along the routes include vistas, hemlock and oak forest stands, trout streams, and small cascading waterfalls. Aid stations are provided and described as fully stocked with typical trail fuel. Awards are given to the first male and female overall finishers and pre-registered entrants receive event swag. A post-race celebration includes food.
Race administration notes include a registration deadline of October 31 and several entry policies: no refunds, no deferrals, no bib transfers, no bandits, and no same-day registration. All race proceeds benefit a memorial scholarship fund that awards at least one graduating high school senior a financial scholarship each year.
