50 Mile Event Details and Athlete Guide

The 50 Mile course is truly a fun mix of everything!  Our 50 mile route for 2024, will be very similar to our first two years.  A good variation of road, gravel road, and trail.  The route has a few big climbs and rollers, along with long sections of flat trail.  As with all trails the conditions will depend on the weather leading up to race day.  These trails are all very wide and well groomed, but can get muddy easily with rain.  The course has a total elevation gain of 4700 feet over 50 miles.   This unique course offers tons of amazing views and unique opportunities to explore. The entire course is gorgeous with views of the New River, old mines, waterfalls, and so much more! With two starting times this is a great first time 50 miler route, and also an awesome race for the experienced runner!
