ウィリアムズポート (ペンシルベニア州)周辺の10Kレース

The Raven is an autumn trail race in the Seven Mountains area of Bald Eagle State Forest, Pennsylvania, offering 10K and half marathon courses through Poe Valley. The 10K covers approximately 6.4 miles with about 1,500 feet of elevation gain, and the half marathon spans roughly 13.6 miles with around 2,900 feet of gain. This is a challenging trail event, distinct from a road race with some unpaved sections. The course features remote singletrack, passable doubletrack, steep ascents, rocky climbs, stream crossings, scenic overlooks, and extended quiet forest sections. It is designed for experienced trail runners, though well-prepared hikers are welcome if they understand the terrain. Aid stations are provided for both distances, with one on the 10K at Mountain Church and three along the half marathon route. The Edgar Allan Poe theme is present in the race name, the Raven finisher awards, the dark-pine Poe Valley environment, and a post-race gathering for sharing experiences or reciting poetry. Following the race, participants receive kettle-served ham and bean soup, with a vegetarian alternative available. The event contributes to scholarships, local trail maintenance, and community initiatives.

This Hughesville, Pennsylvania race series offers runners three distances from a single 8:00 AM start: 5K, 10K, and half marathon.

The 5K completes the shorter out-and-back twice, the 10K completes it four times, and the half marathon uses a longer out-and-back six times. This format simplifies pacing and allows runners to see the same course section multiple times, with a 3 hour 30 minute completion time limit.
