Lehigh Gap Nature Center

More or Less a 10k Trail Run & More than a 2 mile Scamper

Mission statement:

The purpose of the event is to create a greater awareness in the community of the extraordinary trail system that exists locally and do so in a way that is consistent with the mission of the Nature Center.

Here are the ways we intend to achieve this goal:

1. Limit size of the field to the first 200 entrants to reduce the impact on the trails.
2. 100% paperless online registration through Ultrasignup.com

Course:

It is a year for our mountain top finish on the West side of the Lehigh Gap! This year’s course is perhaps the most challenging yet in the 13 year running of the event. Lot’s of new twists and turns in this year’s course. The race will get your heart rate up right away as the race will start straight up the LNE trail for the first time. After taxing the lungs up and over the Prairie Grass Trail, the course continues on the technical single track on the Chestnut Oak Trail, after a brief flat on the LNE, the race heads down the 3 Ponds trail where we are excited to introduce, for the first time, a new section of the trail around 3 Ponds at the west end of the course. Be careful on the fast flat D&L trail before beginning the final mile long, 1000 foot climb to the finish line at the top of the Gap. This year truly lives up to the race’s motto, “You will never run the same race twice."
