Rattling Trail Run 25K Online Registration

Welcome to the first of what will become a mid-Atlantic favorite on some of the sweetest trails around.

Lykens, PA and the Rattling Creek Trail Network is the location for this brand new running event and the expansion of the popular Rattling 50 Mountain Bike Marathon into a weekend celebrating endurance trail sports!

The course is in the process of finalization, but we can give you some of the basics. You'll start the race with a climb to the top of the ridge but once you're up on top you stay up there until the final drop to the finish line. Most of the elevation gain for the run will come in the first two miles and then its just sweet contour hugging rolling trails until you drop back down to the finish. These trails were built primarily by the Rattling Creek Single Trackers, a group of mountain bikers who love fun trails and led by a fella who would rather flow and grin than grimace climbing steep grades. It translates to a network that is renown in mountain bike circles and about to be in the trail running community.
