Bike along a clear trout stream and over 3988 ft., 9% grade Kennison Mountain on a national scenic by-way (hard paved surface). Run out and back to the Cranberry Glades from the Cranberry Mountain Nature Center (mixed surface of pavement and compacted gravel).

Details: Usually between 100 to 150 athletes total, divisions are broken down by sexes and 5-year age intervals. -Prizes and trophies for top three places in all age categories. All pre-registered racers are guaranteed a t-shirt, day-of-race registered racers get shirts while supplies last.
