From the Organizer
After a successful inaugural event thanks to all of the participants, volunteers, and spectators it is time to sign up again and we can't believe it. We took your suggestions and will be implementing some changes moving into this year.
The Robin Ames Foundation (RAF) Trail Series is in honor of Robin Ames and is a series of trail events in Coopers Rock State Park in West Virginia. This race is a celebration of life and who Robin was as a person. There are distances for any skill level.
There are 4 distances. You have the ability to participate in person, we would absolutely love to see you and are planning on making this a destination race, but if you cannot attend there is a virtual option as well. Just submit your run between October 1st and October 30th in any of the distances, and we will put a leader board together (screen shot from Garmin, Strava, or other digital tracking).
