Tiadaghton Trail Challenge : Waterville, PA
The Tiadaghton Trail Challenge is a trail running event held in Tiadaghton State Forest near Waterville, Pennsylvania. The event offers two distances:
- Half Marathon
- 10K
Both courses begin and end at the Tiadaghton State Forest Resource Management Center and follow single-track trails, old wagon roads, forest service roads, and rail-trail sections through the Pine Creek Valley. Terrain described for both courses includes rocky, moss-covered surfaces, technical sections, steep ascents and descents, switchbacks, shale outcrops, stream crossings, and forested vistas. The half marathon adds a roughly two-mile loop to reach the highest point of Huntley Mountain, then continues over several named trails including the Eiger Trail, Log Slide Trail, and Wolf Path before returning to the resource center.
Aid stations are provided along the course and are described as stocked with typical trail fuel. Awards are given to the first male and female overall finishers. Pre-registered participants receive event swag, and there is a post-race celebration with food.
All net proceeds from the event support a memorial scholarship fund that awards at least one graduating senior from the local high school each year. Registration closes October 31 at 11:59 PM ET. The event policy states no refunds, no deferrals, no bib transfers, no bandits, and no same-day registration. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
