The Black Moshannon Monster Hunt is an adventure scavenger race that will be held at Black Moshannon State Park.  You will go to a station, complete an activity, and get a clue to continue to the next station.  The race course will not be revealed in advance.  You must figure out which trail to take from the clues.  Each station will include a Holloween theme to help you with the clues.  Participants will get wet and muddy!  Awards will be given to the first place in the 10 K run, 10 K mountain bike, and 5 K run.  There is also an award for best costume of the day.

10K Run or Mountain Bike

This is a 10 K course that includes some roadways and lots of trails.  Some trails will be easy, while others will have a steep incline.  There will be a kayak and archery portion (equipment provided) during this race.  There will also be an obstacle course with a mud pit to overcome before finishing on the slip and slide.  Helmets must be worn by all riders.

5 K Run Or Hike

This is a 5 K course that includes some roadways, but mostly trails.  Depending on the course, participants will have a kayak or archery activity (equipment provided).  An obstacle course with a mud pit will need to be overcome before ending the race at the slip and slide. 

Early registration is $20.  T-shirts are guarenteed if signed up at least two weeks before the event.  Race Day check in is from 11 am to 12:30 pm at the beach area.  The race begins at 1:00 pm.   A bake/craft sale will be held from 12:00 pm until race finish at the Environmental Learning Center area.   No refunds will be given.

The Black Moshannon Monster Hunt Race is held in memory of Mike McCloskey who was a dedicated park volunteer and outsdoorsman.  He lost a long, hard fought battle to chronic lymphocytic leukemia in January 2013 at 41 years old. The proceeds from each year's race is donated to local family in need due to a medical condition.   The 4th Annual Black Moshannon Monster Hunt Race is to benefit Adian Solt.  Adian is a 2 year old from Howard that was diagnosed with EV-D 68 last year.  EV-D 68 is a non-polio enterovirus that causes respiratory symptoms.  He currently has a trach and will need a surgery to receive a pace maker for breathing.  He is the first infant survivor of this virus.
