About the Book It for the Huntingdon County Library
The course follows a Rails to Trails corridor out from the Alexandria Trailhead and comes straight back. Underfoot it is crushed limestone, packed and level the whole way. There is no real elevation to speak of, which makes it the kind of surface where legs tend to feel fast. The surrounding trail scenery is open and quiet, typical of a converted rail line.
Check-in and day-of registration open well before the gun. The start and finish are both behind the gate at the Alexandria Trailhead, so everything stays in one spot. A kids sprint rounds out the morning after the main events wrap up, and awards follow shortly after.
