West Virginia Mountain Trail Runners

Adam Casseday and Bradley Mongold will run the 292 mile, or 300 mile depending on your source of information, Allegheny Trail later this summer. They have been planning the adventure for over a year. The north-south ALT extends along the eastern mountains of from the WV/PA line near Bruceton Mills to Peter’s Mt on the WV/VA border. The guys exact daily schedule is still fluid but they will start at the northern terminus on 8/28 and intend to finish in five days on 9/1. A personal blog is in the works. Watch for more details here.

A new ultra from WVMTR, Adam Casseday RD.

A gradual climb up Cheat Mt, run with the moon along the spine of this 4000′ ridge, descend to Shavers Fork, climb through the dark spruce back up Cheat, drop to Shavers Fork for a second time,  now north along the river, climb gradually once again up Cheat Mt and run the high ridge north as dawn approaches.  A 50 mile loop with 6300′ gain and loss.
