This is not your average, flat 5K. This trail offers much more of a challenge because of the 1,000 plus feet elevation gain in the first 1.7 miles. Runners will skip the pavement and experience trail-running. Come and challenge yourself. The view from the top is worth it!
The course is approximately 3.4 miles long so it is longer than most 5K runs. It begins at the Molly's Knob trail head and goes to the summit and back down again.
Take Exit 47 off of I-81 and head towards Marion. Turn right on Hwy 16 after the Walmart shopping center. Hungry Mother State Park will be on your right.
