Molly’s Knob 5K set for October

Looking for a challenge?

Look no further than Hungry Mother State Park.

The Molly’s Knob Challenge is not your average 5K. The run, set for 8 a.m. to noon on Oct. 8, features more than a thousand foot elevation gain in the first 1.7 miles.

Slightly longer than most 5K runs at 3.4 miles, the race begins at the Molly’s Knob trail head, goes to the summit and comes back down again.

No dogs allowed on the Molly’s Knob Challenge 5K Plus.
