About the Event
Climb Pocono - To End Cancer
Last year we hosted our first annual Climb To Conquer Cancer Pocono event. Our 3 mile endurance hiking event took you from Camelback Resorts to Big Pocono State Park.
Highlights included:
- Instagram influencer Kim.Hiked.It joined us with a team of other local influencers in the area.
- A challenge of hiking up to PA state park, Big Pocono.
- A fun reward at Hike Fest! After your hike you relaxed with live music, food and beverage, local community partners, our CLIMB sign and a stunning view at Camelback's Summit House.
This year we have updated our name. This change has been made to honor the Indigenous People that once lived on our park lands. The word "conquer" held some negativity towards these people.
Ready to test your limits? The Climb Pocono - To End Cancer brings a highly anticipated 5.1K to Tannersville on May 16, 2026. Expect a fantastic route right in the heart of Pennsylvania.
