The Kinzua Bridge Challenge runs an "out and back" course, starting with a "staggered start" from the Center Street Trailhead on the Mt Jewett to Kinzua Bridge Rails to Trails. This event supports the Swedish Festival Association, host of "one of the largest festivals in the county". Proceeds also benefit the Penn York Oil and Gas Scholarship and aid in "promoting economic development, education, innovation and community revitalization" for the Mount Jewett area. Finisher medals are awarded, and pre-registrants receive a T-shirt.
