Charcoal Challenge 5k Fun Run

This fundraiser is promoted by the Friends of Pine Grove Furnace for the benefit of our 501(c)(3) non-profit. All proceeds support recreation, education and conservation at Pine Grove Furnace State Park. This is a "Fun Run" that shows off our beautiful State Park using several park trails and roads. There will be no timer/no bibs, but all runners or walkers will receive participation prizes and free snacks/hydration.
