A Highlands Sky trail clean up day is planned for May 2nd. We will meet at the Laneville Wildlife cabin at 8:00am. With the new Wilderness status of Roaring Plains West and Dolly Sods North comes the added adventure of hand tools only, no more chain saws. So it’s axes, brushhooks and crosscut saws. A few folks are taking a crosscut training and safety class next week with the Forest Service to be certified to use the old whip saws.
Your help would be appreciated. Give a little back to the Mon and earn service hours required for so many races.

Those girls and boys and men and women will be on the run this May 9th on a new 5K course in Mill Creek, WV. We’d love to see lots of trail runners out there on the streets for a day. The race is open to anyone who wants to run (or walk) and volunteers are always welcome too, of course!
WVMTR will be timing the race and the club’s shiny-new finish line clock will be making it’s debut performance.

Summersville, West Virginia
Family and friends, students and teachers, runners and walkers have come together for several years in honor of David Hypes. Coach Hypes lost his battle with ALS, more commonly know as Lou Gehrig’s Disease on April 9, 2005. As a youngster David was involved in every athletic team he could find. At Nicholas County High School, he focused on his love for wrestling. He continued that love affair during his years at West Virginia University and returned to Nicholas County as a teacher and coach in 1985. David was an inspiration to the students of Nicholas County. We would like to continue to honor his love of education and athletics by establishing a scholarship fund in his name. So come for the Fifth Annual David S. Hypes Memorial 5 Mile Run or 5 Kilometer Walk in honor of David. It will be a good run/walk for a great cause.
The West Virginia Mountain Trail Runners are coordinating this event.
All proceeds will go to establish the David S. Hypes Scholarship Fund. Continue Reading »
