The Courses
The 10 Mile run is mainly single-track mountainous trails and old service roads. You will be crossing small creeks and enjoying beautiful views. The first 3.6 miles takes you along the banks of the Tygart Valley River on Deer Trail then loops back near the start line on Red Cardinal Trail. The next 3.9 miles climb 400 feet along Rhododendron, Dogwood and Wild Turkey Trails. The Wild Turkey Trail takes you to the highest point in the park before descending the last 2.5 miles on Dogwood and Rhododendron Trails.
The 6 Mile run follows the last 6 miles of the directions above, basically it starts with the Rhododendron trail description above.
The 5K walk starts immediately behind the 10 mile run and follows the same route along Deer and Red Cardinal Trails.
There will be water stations at 3.6 & 6.6 miles for the 10 Mile Run, and at 3 miles for the 6 mile run. At the finish you will be treated to scrumptious warm soup, home baked cookies, fresh fruit and drinks.
The Valley Falls 10 Mile Trail Run is part of the 2006 Mountain State Trail Run Series.
