He made it

"I never expected to end this project and feel so much love," Jacob Kosker said shortly after finishing his goal to run or walk every marked trail and road in Venango County. Kosker started his day needing to get roughly 20 miles in to finish his year-long project. He ended a little before 5 p.m. Friday, Dec. 31, 2021, at the top of Oil Creek State Park. He was met by more than a dozen friends and family, some driving a couple hours to toast his accomplishment with a little bubbly and a slice or two of pizza.

The family made signs and presented him with gifts. At the end of his final steps he checked his phone which told him he still had 1/10 of a mile still to go.

He laughed.

​After around 2,300 miles to cover the just over 1,500 miles of road and trails, he found that pretty funny. "You know, lol, that wasn't included in the [Venango] County miles, that was just something arbitrary I set for my total miles today," he wrote later in a Facebook message.

To read more about his journey, visit this page that has a story and pictures first published a couple weeks back.

Later on Friday, Kosker paid homage to his accomplishment by posting to social media "I'm pretty tired, I think I'll go home now," - Forrest Gump.
