Overview

Prepare to tackle the rugged and picturesque trails of Coopers Rock State Forest in north central West Virginia with our challenging trail race. Spanning across 50 kilometers, the course ventures through nearly every trail on the forest’s south side, offering runners breathtaking views of the Cheat Canyon and Cheat Lake, as well as majestic boulder formations.

With 5000 feet of elevation gain, participants will encounter a demanding yet rewarding journey through the forest’s diverse terrain. Whether navigating rocky pathways or ascending steep slopes, each step brings you closer to the exhilarating finish line.

For those seeking a shorter but equally exhilarating adventure, our half marathon course covers 21 kilometers of the same scenic trails. Despite its shorter distance, runners can still expect 2000 feet of elevation gain, ensuring a challenging and memorable experience.
