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.
