Spring Hike Challenge
Details
Join the Wampum Chapter and Lawrence County Tourism in celebration of 250 years of The United States of America for a 25 mile challenge. This is a strenuous hike, limited to 15 hikers and must be completed within nine hours. Hikers must be self supported. However, there will be a small break station at Hells Hollow. Use this as a training or self-check for the A-100.
Meet at 6am at the Wampum Depot, 303 Main St, Wampum, PA to register, with a prompt 6:15am departure to shuttle/car pool to Alpha Pass, McConnells Mills. The hike from Alpha Pass to Wampum is 18 miles, with three road walk sections consisting of six miles.
As a group we can complete 23 miles. After 18 miles, check in at Wampum, then continue out and back to Mines & Meadows. Or individuals can proceed toward Possum Hollow and back to Wampum to complete 25 miles.
A small meal will be provided between 3-5pm at the depot upon completion. Come dressed in your favorite red, white, and blue along with proper footwear.
