Get ready to lace up for our 2nd Annual [Un]Leash the Fun! This year, we aren't just running for fitness—we’re running for Mack (the good boy in the picture). 🌈

If you knew Mack, you knew a dog who lived life to the fullest for 14 beautiful years. He was a connoisseur of extra-sharp cheese, a professional sun-soaker, and a world-class singer whenever the fire whistle blew. Whether he was cuddling a shark stuffie or enjoying his daily pup cup, Mack was the definition of "spoiled" in the best way possible.

Mack’s family fought a brave battle alongside him against kidney disease—navigating special diets, IV fluids, and everything in between. While Mack eventually gained his wings, his legacy of joy and resilience stays behind.

This year, every mile we clock honors Mack’s 14-year legacy and the incredible bond between a dog and his family.

The Rundown:

🏃‍♂️ 5K Run & 2K Walk

    THE DIRTY KILN TRAIL RACES ARE BACK FOR OUR 13TH RUNNING!

    JOIN US APRIL 11TH, 2026 FOR EITHER OUR 10K RACE OR TACKLE OUR HALF-MARATHON COURSE.

    The 143th “Dirty Kiln Trail Races at Canoe Creek State Park” brought to you by Allegheny Trailrunners, Inc. will be Saturday, April 11th, 2026! Trail runners will have a choice to run the short course up Moore’s Hill and around the lake or the long course around the park a second time but on a more hilly and challenging half-marathon course! Both courses have a lot of variety of trails from wide paths, winding singletrack, stream crossings and mud… lots of mud.

    Allegheny Trailrunners is a 501c3 not-for-profit organization and its officers are all volunteers and are not compensated for our work. All net proceeds from our events are proudly contributed to carefully predetermined charities and other non-profit organizations at the end of the year. But we do like to reward our participants – especially since Dirty Kiln has been an introductory race toward trailrunning.

    We have a very detailed website at http://www.alleghenytrailrunners.com/dirty-kiln-trail-race/ with course details, maps, and much more.

    REFUND POLICY

    Participants are eligible for a 50% refund of the race fee minus RunSignup fees until 3/11/2026. We will not do deferrals or bib transfers. No same-day signups for this event.

    Welcome to Central Pennsylvania’s ridges and valleys! You will experience the best terrain and trails PA has to offer, from gnarly single track to flat and fast double track, heart breaking climbs and quad-busting descents.

    The Lost Turkey Trail runs as a point-to-point trail, traversing the southern portion of the Allegheny Front and culminating at the top of Blue Knob.

    Distance options include a physically and mentally grueling 50k point-to-point (transportation can be added on), half-marathon loop and new for 2025 a Little Turkey 10k(ish) option.

    September 13, 2025: ALLEGHENY TRAILRUNNERS INC. IS PROUD TO PRESENT THE 14TH ANNUAL ROCK ’N THE KNOB – PA’S HIGHEST RACE. BREAKING THE WILL OF ALL WHO DARE TRY…

    The Ultramarathon Course (50K) begins at 6:00am and the Medium Distance Course (20K-25K) starts at 9:00am and the Short Course (10K) starts at 10am.

    The race will offer three courses: a Short Course (10K-ish), a Medium Distance Course (20K-25K) and a challenging Ultramarathon Course (50K) for the more experienced.

    TAKEAWAYS:

    Short Course (10K-ish): This course may be the most challenging 10K in PA* (*based on the fastest and average finish times.) The 10K features challenges like Tree-odge, Devils Hairpin, Throat Punch Hill and Soul Sucker Slopes! Two major climbs give you over 1350 feet of climbing. There is one aid station at the base of the first climb called Throat Punch Hill at 3 miles. More: http://www.alleghenytrailrunners.com/rock-n-the-knob-trail-challenge/

    Medium Distance Course (20K-25K): Get ready – this race is a doozy. We took the marathon course and cutting it in half but leaving in more than half of the challenges and sufferfest. The half features some gnarly sections like Blister Blaster, Teal is Real up Deep Hollow Notch, I'll Nettle Do This Again and I Need a Sherpa! We are amending the course in 2021 to include more elevation madness with almost 3500 feet of climbing - or 7000 feet of elevation change. There are three aid stations and a six 1/2-hour time limit. There are 3 Aid Stations: At Chappelle's Field (Mile 4.6); At Ravens Rest (Mile 7.2); At Heavens Hairpin (Mile 11.1). More: http://www.alleghenytrailrunners.com/rock-n-the-knob-trail-challenge/

    Ultramarathon: For mountain-goats, this course will brake the will of many as you repeatedly attempt to ascend Blue Knob Mountain, the most northern 3,000+ foot peak in the Alleghenies. The 50K is our infamous mountain marathon “boosted” to an ultramarathon which includes all the ‘greatest hits’ of both the medium course and 10k races. More - http://www.alleghenytrailrunners.com/rock-n-the-knob-trail-challenge/

    In Summary:

    • At over 3,100 feet above sea level, it is Pennsylvania’s highest race.

    • A 10K, half-marathon or 50K options. Both are more technical (rocky) than our little sister, the Dirty Kiln Trail Race.

    • Lodging is available at Blue Knob All-Seasons Resort, wake up feet from the start and finish.

    • Our famous swag package.

    • Post-race food and beer is included with the entry fee.

    Start/Finish Address: 1424 Overland Pass Claysburg, Pennsylvania 16625. Bib pickup begins 7am in the pavilion beside the Blue Knob Clubhouse Restaurant and Conference Center.
