About the event

Crucible Hike
Imagine a group of 100 people tackling the Pennsylvania Laurel Highlands Trail for a 3-day, 70.5 mile extreme hike with a full gear pack - and the adventure in The Crucible begins. This 3-day extreme journey through some of Pennsylvania's most spectacular scenery is not for the feint of heart, but your life won't be the same after you've participated in The Crucible. It's a journey of passion, determination and personal triumph, as much as it's an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of local Veterans who are in need of housing, employment and supportive services.

The 70-mile hiking trail stretches along the picturesque Laurel Mountains from the Conemaugh Gorge near Johnstown, PA where you can hike along a rocky footpath and dirt road through mountain laurel to the edge of a 1,000-foot gorge at 2,400 feet to the Youghiogheny River at Ohiopyle - located at the southern reaches of the Laurel Ridge, encompassing rugged natural beauty providing some of the best whitewater in the eastern United States, as well as spectacular scenery.

Hikers will spend the night at base camp on Thursday, 10 September and the 70 Mile Hike will start bright and early on Friday, 11 September and ends the afternoon of 14 September. The first day each hiker will hike 24 miles, the second day each hiker will hike 27 miles, and the last day each hiker will hike 19 miles. The 11 mile sprint will take place on Sunday, 14 September.
