The Rothrock Challenge is going to be the Hyner's southern cousin. It's a 30K filled with awesome
single track, elevation changes that will numb the legs, and hair-raising scrambles through
boulders and cliffs. The PA Trail Dogs' apple didn't fall too far from the tree on this one. If you liked
the Hyner, then you'll feel right at home in Rothrock.
