The Pine Creek Rail Trail stretches 63 miles from Wellsboro Junction to Jersey Shore and is repeatedly listed as one of the finest bike rides in the Northeast. This section is through the "Grand Canyon of the East", the Pine Creek Gorge. The Gorge stretches for 47 miles. It is nearly a mile wide and 1,450 feet deep at its deepest point. This section of Pine Creek is listed as a National Natural Landmark. It's popular with canoeists and rafters in the spring and trout fishermen are drawn here all year long.

We have set up an out and back course that uses 25 miles of the upper canyon section. We will have the start/finish at Asaph. The 100 miler runners will go 2 out and backs to Blackwell, passing through the canyon 4 times. The 100k folks will go once to Blackwell and return.

ROUND TOP CHALLENGE HOPES TO BRING VISIBILITY TO PARK

ROUND TOP CHALLENGE HOPES TO BRING VISIBILITY TO PARK 

by: Matt Hicks

Athens Township – Plans are coming together for the Round Top Challenge, a running event intended to bring more exposure to Round Top Park

Athens Township Parks and Recreation Chairman Richard Bean said the idea came to him a few weeks back, before the commission’s most recent meeting.

“We want to get more people up on Round Top. It doesn’t get used too much during the week,” Bean said.

“The high usage is during the weekends.”

The commission initially looked to hold it in October, but then decided to plan for the second weekend of may to avoid other area running events already planned for the fall month.

“Its going to be strenuous,” Bean said about the route they have planned out, which will included part of the Athens Area High School’s cross country trail. “Its not just flat ground. You’re going to need some muscle to get around. There’s going to be some hills to climb.

Commission member Chris Watson, a runner, is currently reaching out to local running clubs to generate interest as plans continue moving forward, Bean added.

“We’re just trying to get more usage up there,” he said.
