Hamburg, Pennsyvania

Racing in the Krista 12 Hour?

Download rules, directions, and information here
 

Breathtaking views, challenging terrain, and captivating wilderness, set the scene for this 12 hour race of challenge and adventure. Join us in honoring and commemorating a dear friend, fellow adventure racer, and fellow search and rescue instructor, who died while training a few years ago.

Krista spent many years training and instructing at the Civil Air Patrol's Search and Rescue School based at Hawk Mountain, PA. Proceeds from the race will go to benefit that volunteer school. Teams of 2 to 3 racers will face the seemingly unending challenges of Hawk Mountain including: rugged terrain, lots of elevation changes, and awesome scenery

Approximate race distances.......
20 miles of running, trekking, orienteering
5 miles of paved biking
14 miles of mountain biking
7 miles of canoe paddling
Rappelling and fun team challenges!

Grab some friends and come on out for a great, fun challenge!

This is a spectator friendly race!!
 
 

Racing teams can get involved in helping defray their race costs and
raise money for The Civil Air Patrol all at the same time!

For each $100 the racer raises, $10 will be subtracted from
their registration fee!

You could race for free!
All proceeds and pledge money will go to the
Pennsylvania Wing Civil Air Patrol Search and Rescue Program.

Racing for this great cause is both rewarding for participants, volunteers, spectators, and sponsors.
