From the Organizer
Beautiful views of the Massanutten Mountain Ridge greet you from the starting line of our newest Trail Event. Choose from a challenging 25K with 1700+ feet of elevation gain or a chiller 8 Miler with 600 gain. Both courses start along the river and make their way through the valley passing views of the surrounding mountains. Once the climbing starts you'll find yourself in a beautiful forest with the occasional view popping out from the canopy. The trails are mostly smooth rolling single track but you will find some double track and slightly technical sections along the way. The distances split when the route comes by the start area. 8 Milers make their way up to the finish and the 25K heads into the woods for the steepest climbs and descents of the race!
