Mount Pleasant of Edinboro Virtual Bike & Run/Walk Challenge It’s virtual, and you can run, walk or bike at the ski area through Sept. 7. Compete at your own pace and remain socially distanced. The challenge takes place at 14510 Mount Pleasant Road, Cambridge Springs. A 5.5-mile loop takes participants along the slopes of Mount Pleasant and promises something for everyone with 10 different classes/challenges at $10 per challenge. All proceeds from the race go directly back to the trail system. Visit www.skimountpleasant.com/2020-Challenges for more information. Or contact Andrew Halmi at andrew.halmi@skimountpleasant.com.

National Trail Mix Day Some call it gorp, but it’s the day to honor and/or make some healthy snacks to take along on hikes. Dried fruit, granola, nuts or anything with carbs, energy and healthy fats fit the bill. According to https://nationaldaycalendar.com/national-trail-mix-day-august-31, two California surfer dudes claim to have invented it in the 1960s, but the site adds that trail mix was used in a 1958 novel “The Dharma Bums” written by Jack Kerouac.
