Check out this new trail run in southwest WV. Destined to be a 50k/25k race in coming years! 

This year we did two new things that we hope runners will appreciate.  First we lowered the entry fee for those who register early.  To take advantage of the $20 early registration fee your entry must be postmarked by May 1^st.  We will strictly enforce that postmark date.  Early entry forms are available at www.charlestondistancerun.com

Secondly, we did away with prize money and instead are giving every entrant two performance moisture management shirts, a short sleeve and a long sleeve shirt.  These are great for training and racing in any weather.

This is our 38^th year, we need to keep our participation numbers up in order to keep our sponsors – register early and help assure this quality race stays around for its 40^th year in 2012.

Better get out there in the snow and run so you will be ready for one of the most beautiful spring trail runs around. The Grinder has placid lakeside trails, weaving single track along the rim of the gorge, swinging bridges and old railroad grades….it’s great. Check it out and get your entry at Babcock.
