The Kinzua Viaduct, built in 1882, was the world’s longest and tallest railroad viaduct, measuring 2,053 feet long and 301 feet high. In 2003, a tornado partially destroyed the structure. In 2011, the viaduct was reinvented and transformed into the now 624 ft long Kinzua Skywalk at Kinzua Bridge State Park. On the skywalk, visitors can take in breathtaking views of the Kinzua Gorge and gaze down at the incredible destruction from the tornado. In addition, the Kinzua Bridge State Park Visitor Center offers historical information and stunning views.

Of course in the year of Covid, things are different. This was a run on a gravel rail trail, with is nice and shaded, but that’s all you can see. You did not run out on the Bridge, just near it. The best thing about the race was that we went a day early and hiked . The ANF is amazing!
