2021 Ironmaster’s Challenge 15k and 50k Trail Race Event Photos

This past Sunday, the annual Ironmaster’s Challenge 15k and 50k Trail Race was held at Pine Grove Furnace State Park and Michaux State Forest. Hundreds of racers from near and far showed great endurance and stellar attitudes as they challenged themselves for the finishline at the Ironmaster’s Mansion among towering trees, rocky outcrops, rushing waters and historic buildings for an event they won’t soon forget. With weather that held perfectly around 70 degrees with some cloud coverage and a jovial mood among all, 2021’s challenge is one for the books. Thank you to everyone who came out and enjoyed a fantastic day with us at Pine Grove Furnace State Park–participants, volunteers, family, and friends. Photos by Mike Lomma captured the spirit of the day! Enjoy these photos of the event and check back soon for more uploads.
