Set in one of the most scenic areas of Pennsylvania, Hawk Mountain is the seasonal home to many of the migrating raptors in North America. This 12 hour race is in memory of a dear friend and adventure racer who died while training a few years ago. She was also an instructor at the Civil Air Patrol’s Search and Rescue School that is based at Hawk Mountain. Proceeds from the race will go to benefit that school. Racers will face the seemingly unending challenges of Hawk Mountain including: rugged trekking and orienteering, mountain biking, fixed ropes, and canoeing.
