It's back! Get ready for the 2022 Stockville! Psst... and this year we're opening it up to solos...

The Stockville is a two-day foot and navigation event, inspired by the mountain marathons of Europe and the UK. Each morning, racers will receive maps of a linear, point-to-point course that will take them through the wilds of central Pennsylvania. The final checkpoint on Day 1 – and the start location for Day 2 – will be at midcamp, a community campout where we’ll come together over roasted marshmallows to share in the wonder of our collective adventures. There will be mandatory route each day that all racers must complete to officially finish the event, and there will be additional optional checkpoints along the way for the faster, more experienced teams. The mandatory route will allow teams to remain largely on trails, whereas the optional checkpoints will include more advanced, rugged, off-trail navigation.

The best part of adventuring is the stories. That time you were packrafting down a remote river and spotted a deer chasing a Canadian lynx up the bank…That sunrise over the Catskills, when the red and yellow leaves sparkled with frost…Those trail angels you encountered, when everyone on the team had run out of food, and you were still miles from the TA…That night you and your teammates came together to overcome insurmountable odds and made it to the finish line, with seconds to spare…

This race is for the stories.
