We caught these artists spraying painting last night. They also spray painted some of our signs. It’s illegal. Charges pending. Thank you PA Game Commission. We really appreciate your work.

A big thank you to Randy Bunch for clearing some of the overhanging trees and brush on TOPP Trail.

Become a Friend of TOPP Trail too.

The tunnel changes everything.

What's the first thing you notice?

The temperature dropping? Or does it feel warmer?

The echo of footsteps and voices?

The darkness ahead?

Or your watch suddenly insisting you're running through a mountain at a 3:45 pace?

Every runner seems to remember a different first impression.

What's yours?

Grafitti on the TOPP Trail is illegal. It is a constant battle for us. Please see before and after pics, and resist the urge to bring cans of spray paint. Bring a Kate’s bar and bottle of water (carry in and carry out) and enjoy the experience.
