The third annual Assault on Black Rock will test the strength and stamina of trail runners as they try to make it to the top of Pinnacle Park outside Sylva on Saturday, March 16, in Sylva. The course will be approximately seven miles with a 2,770 foot elevation gain. Hikers are welcome to come out and enjoy the trail to Pinnacle Peak as well.
To be knighted as part of the elite Blackrock 101 club, which comes with a custom belt buckle, you have to finish in 101 minutes.
Prizes will be awarded to top finishers.
The cost is $25 to preregister and $30 on race day. All proceeds from this race will go to the Community Table in Sylva. Registration forms are available from Community Table and their website features a course map. Online registration is also possible at www.active.com.
