The Black Moshannon Monster Hunt is a scavenger hunt race that will be held at Black Moshannon State Park.  You will go to a station and get a clue to continue to the next station.  The race course will not be revealed.  You must figure out which trail to take from the clues. 

Each station will include a Halloween theme to help you with your clues.   Participants will get muddy and wet.  Awards will be given to first place in the 10 K run and mountain bike race, and 5 K run.  There will also be an award for best costume of the day. 

 

The 3rd Annual Black Moshannon Monster Hunt is to benefit Gavin Royer.  Gavin is a 5 year old from Morrisdale that has been diagnosed with anaplastic ependymoma, a grade III rare type of tumor. He is currently undergoing treatment at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. He has already had surgery and chemotherapy. He is just starting physical therapy and will soon be undergoing radiation treatments.

 

The Monster Hunt is held in memory of Mike McCloskey who was a dedicated park volunteer & outdoorsman who lost a long, hard fought battle to chronic lymphocytic leukemia in January 2013 at 41 years old.
