Lehigh Gap Nature Center
More or Less a 10k Trail Run
and 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 Active.com.
Course:
The 10th running of the Lehigh Gap Nature Center More or Less a 10 K Trail Run and More than a 2 Mile Scamper will take place on Saturday November 5, 2022 at the nationally recognized Lehigh Gap Nature Center in Slatington, Pennsylvania.
This year's 10K course will include a mountain top finish on the west side of the Lehigh Gap. The course starts on the D&L trail before climbing up onto the North face of the Kittatinny Ridge where the course narrows with sections of technical single track. The last mile gains 1000 vertical feet for an Alp d'huez finish atop the Lehigh Gap.
The 2.3 mile Scamper has terrain suitable for family members of all ages and ability levels and still includes the short but challenging Bobolink Trail.
All proceeds from the event help to support the nationally recognized Lehigh Gap Nature Center
