Sweat For Vets Challenge 2026

The Sweat For Vets Challenge begins and ends at Brush Mountain Sportsmen’s Association in Pinecroft, located off the Pinecroft Exit of I-99 in Antis Township, approximately five miles north of Altoona, Pennsylvania. Participants can choose between a 10K trail race, a 5K trail race, or a 5K trail walk, all supporting local veterans in the Alleghenies. The 10K follows a trail course that ascends into the Allegheny Mountains. The 5K race and walk provide shorter options for participation, with the 10K typically starting before the 5K run/walk. After crossing the finish line back at Brush Mountain, attendees can enjoy food, drinks, music, entertainment, and family activities. All net proceeds benefit local veterans.
