ROCK 'N THE KNOB TRAIL CHALLENGE UPDATE:
We have been hinting, we have another NEW section for the 2021 marathon and half-marathon races. Clocking in at only 2.55 miles, but with 2100 feet of elevation change! 😈😈😈
The fun is Sept. 18th at the 10th Annual Rock N' The Knob Challenge at Blue Knob Mountain (PA's second highest mountain and highest running race). http://www.alleghenytrailrunners.com/rock-n-the-knob-trail-challenge/

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!

2021 will be Allegheny Trailrunners Inc. 10th year and it will be our 10th Dirty Kiln and 10th Rock 'N The Knob races and we plan to make our tenth anniversary extra special.
Dirty Kiln Trail Races from Allegheny Trailrunners registration is open and will be on April 10th. Even if you deferred from last year, you still need to register so we know what race you want to be in, sign the waiver, etc. You should have a credit on your account if you chose to defer. https://ultrasignup.com/register.aspx?did=77061
Allegheny Trailrunners Trailfest will be in mid-July and will open Rock N' The Knob: PA's Highest Trail Race from Allegheny Trailrunners registration in the next two weeks. Rock 'N The Knob will be either Sept. 11th or 18th. We are looking to add something special to both events -- so stay tuned.
