West Virginia Mountain Trail Runners

Oscar Wolpert was born to Joel and Katie this past Tuesday, May 19th at 9:37pm.

The little guy weighed in a 6 pounds, 9 ounces and a lotta hair. We got to come home from the hospital in lovely Buckhannon, WV Thursday the 21st and are thoroughly enjoying settling in back at the Belington Homestead. Hope to see many of you before too long.

It was an exciting birth with lots of good quips from all participants (except perhaps Oscar). We’ll rehash the details for any interested parties soon.

Mark your calendar for the WVMTR 8th Annual Camp and Run Weekend. This club run was our first organized group run and the weekend continues to be a great get together. Traditionally, this event was held at Seneca Rocks with a run of the North Fork Mountain Trail.  Last year Bradley Mongold and Adam Casseday’s epic run of the Allegheny Trail took them through Pocahontas County and Watoga State Park.   Someone suggested that the club host the Annual Club Camp and Run weekend at Watoga, and the idea stuck. So this year we’re mixing things up!

Make your reservation early. We are limited to 70.

This year come to Watoga State Park to meet old and new friends, run on portions of WV’s Allegheny Trail, tube the Greenbrier River, fish for trout, bike on the rail trail, and enjoy a great potluck post run feast. There are lots to do for everyone, runners and non-runners. Hope to see all you new members out there! Watoga State Park‘s 10,100 acres are located in the mountains of Pocahontas County just 14 miles south of Marlinton, West Virginia.
