About the Event

​The Crooked Compass Adventure Trek is part-adventure racing, part-rogaining, and part-walk in the woods! Solos and teams of 2-4 will travel by foot, using pre-plotted, water-resistant AR-style, USGS maps as they locate as many checkpoints as possible within the time allotted. For those new to adventure racing, this is a great introductory event that will challenge and give you a taste of the sport while still being accessible and fun.The Crooked Compass is also the perfect training ground for bigger events, whether you're taking on a one-day race like our 24-hour Two Rivers Adventure Race; a stage race like our two-day Stockville; or an expedition race like our five-day Endless Mountains Adventure Race.

 

Note: While absolutely an adventurous trek, this year, we MAY include some mountain biking in the course. If we do, we will have registration options for those looking to keep things traditional and stick to their feet. We hope to update later this fall, but for those who like biking, we might have an extra crooked twist for you in 2026!

About Hunlock Creek

Hunlock Creek is an unincorporated community in Hunlock Township, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, United States. The community is located along the Susquehanna River and U.S. Route 11, 3.2 miles (5.1 km) west of Nanticoke. Hunlock Creek has a post office with ZIP code 18621. In 1940, a regional guidebook noted that the town, "its shacks resting in a mountain cleft, is named for the coal-blackened stream that splits it into a number of sections. US 11 parallels the winding river through a long valley that broadens out occasionally to include a cultivated tract on the river flat."
