CMMM – Race Details
Welcome to the 3rd annual Cheat Mountain Moonshine Madness 50 Mile Trail Run. The race is hosted by the West Virginia Mountain Trail Runners. Except for a few miles at the beginning and the end, the course will be within the boundary of Monongahela National Forest. This will be an unusual race in that you will start running at 9:00 p.m. In August in the mountains at 4000′ elevation, night temperatures will offer good running conditions. Come run through the night.
