Rock 'N The Knob Trail Challenge Claysburg, Pennsylvania, United States
This has already taken place.
Event description
For mountain-goats, the Rock ‘N The Knob has broken the will of many as you repeatedly ascend Blue Knob, a broad dome summit that is the northernmost 3,000-footer in the Allegheny Mountains. As Pennsylvania Highest Race, not only is Rock N’ The Knob one of the Mid-Atlantic region’s most physically demanding races with more than 250 feet of climbing per mile on your legs, but our sadistic race directors have embedded challenges that are designed to “mess with the heads” of even the most seasoned trail runner.
