I am thrilled to announce that last night we put a bow on the inaugural Warrior Trail Dark Sky 220 and Cherry Springs 110. To say that this was a challenge for our runners would be an understatement. This weather was unbelievable! I will write a complete review of what transpired and the individual experiences of our Warriors, but I wanted to thank you all for trusting us, for your support and understanding when everything might not have been perfect, for your indomitable spirit in the face of adversity, and for being true champions!

I dreamed of bringing an event like this to PA. Our runners, staff and close friends supported my dream and helped it become a reality! There were many along the way who questioned, or even suggested it couldn’t be done. We accepted the challenge and dove in head first 16 months ago, and after an unbelievable effort, we reaped the reward this past 7 days!

In the process we raised significant dollars for the Warrior Trail Foundation, delivering coaching and mental health services to Veterans aimed at eliminating Veteran Suicides and Self-Harm. It’s a big undertaking, and we’re proud to take it on!

Thank you for making my dreams come true!

Congrats to Samantha Carney on her 3rd Overall and 1st Female at the Cherry Springs 110! She ran an amazing race from start to finish and got a huge assist from Don Nissley through most of the run. Her run into the finish for the road section from Woolrich to Lock Haven hurt, but she toughed it out in true “Sam Style”!

Congrats to Kody Wolfer on his First Place finish at the Cherry Springs 110. Ryan Olazewski took Second, in their first 100! These two ran wire to wire with no sleep and worked together as best friends do! It was beautiful to watch and their bond was obvious right up the finish as they agreed on what place they would finish!
