Mountain Creek Mayhem is a running race on September 19, 2026 in Cooke Township, PA.
This triple-distance trail-running celebration guides you through the best features of the northern Michaux State Forest, nestled within the ancient south-central Pennsylvania Appalachian Mountains.
The freshly designed courses offer our trail buddies a little bit o’ everything, swift, flowy single-track, rolling, rooty ridgelines, rocky, quad-busting descents, not to mention the VIEWS – breathtaking and worth every drop of sweat!
Get the full butt-whoopin’ and snag your spot on the gorgeous and challenging 50K+ course! Or take it one chunk at a time with your choice of the spicy half-marathon or the scrambly, heart-pounding 20Miler! No matter what you pick, you’ll pocket the wealth waiting for you within these magnificent Michaux miles!
