West Virginia Mountain Trail Runners

Crossing Big Run

Dan and I enjoyed the beauty of early spring on Spruce Mountain yesterday during a reconnaissance trip of the WV Trilogy course.  I was once again reminded of how special this event is going to be.  In a run of a mere 20 miles we were treated to amazing views, residual snow drifts, various casualties of winter, awesome trails, and some invigorating stream crossings.  This area never ceases to impress and amaze me.

Entrants are starting to roll in for the Trilogy.  Be sure not to miss out. . . unless you are not man/woman enough to tackle all that is the WV Trilogy.

Presented by the WVU College of Physical Activity and Sports Science this new series of outdoor events begins in April and goes through October. Do one or do them all!

While some of the running events are just long enough to get loosened up, mix it up with a little two wheel action and it looks like fun. For complete details and contact information go to MASS

Want to break the cabin fever and get in a good long run?  Well if so, come join me and Dan this Saturday (2/20) for a 20-25 mile run on some snow-covered roads around Beverly.  We’ll start at my house around 9 am and if you’re interested in this fun run, just drop me an e-mail (dr_casseday@yahoo.com).
