RACE RECAP - South Ridge Trail Challenge

Yesterday, runners and hikers from all over western PA descended on North Park to take on the incredible South Ridge Trail Challenge. What began as a 5K and 10K race with 45 participants back in 2020, has turned into one of the region's premier trail events. The weather was perfect, the atmosphere was electric and a great time was had by all.

This race also serves as the kick off event of our GCXC MAX VERT Summer Trail Series and it did not disappoint. Additionally, this year also saw the addition of the inaugural 50K UltraMarathon and it was truly something to behold. On behalf of the entire GCXC Racing team, we thank everyone who helped make this day possible.
