ROCK 'N THE KNOB TRAIL CHALLENGE UPDATE:

ROCK 'N THE KNOB TRAIL CHALLENGE UPDATE:
By using Strava Route Builder, Heatmaps and GPS Data from former participants, we have updated our section distances and the elevation climbs and descents. To our delight (and what our previous runners always assumed), most of the data shows that distances between aid stations is shorter, yet the elevation is more dramatic than originally published. Check out updated website for the course description for the new numbers. 🏃‍♀️📍

Also, as we have been hinting, we have another NEW section for the 2021 marathon and half-marathon races. Clocking in at only 2.55 miles, check out the EKG-like for this section! 😈😈😈

Giving Tuesday is around the corner. Every year, A

Giving Tuesday is around the corner. Every year, Allegheny Trailrunners is proud to give our remaining proceeds from the past year to many organizations and charities. With two cancelled events and another capped, one would expect we would decrease our giving for this year. However, it has been far more challenging for non-profits and charities in our region. So... we are pooling together our time and talents to make this year's giving more impactful than ever before! Introducing Allegheny Trailrunners: Giving 2020!
1 - We commit to give our proceeds to nine different organizations in the region that we care about the most,
2 - We created donation campaigns for each of these organizations. We hope that you give to these organizations and thus increase our giving to these organizations,
3 - If you feel passionate for a particular organization - you can create your own fundraising page and reach out to your circle and ask them to give to orgs/charities that are the most meaningful to you.
Please join Allegheny Trailrunners in advancing the mission of these organizations. Thank you!
