The inaugural Allegheny 100 Hiking Challenge (A-100) was held in June 2010 with 19 participants. The event was conceived by one of the founding members of the ANF Chapter, Bert Nemcik. Bert knew from thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail that the NCT needed greater exposure to the hiking community in order to help improve the trail. The ANF Chapter is saddened to report that Bert passed away in December 2021. Bert is the smiling man at the left-hand side of the middle row in the posted photo. The 2022 A100 is being dedicated to Bert.
