Matt Young will lead this trainer on the first half of the course on May 4. Meet at the Laneville Start at 8:00am. Some folks have asked to see a trainer on the latter part of the course. This would require a shuttle and more logistics. If you ever want to do this have someone drop you off at Bear Rocks at the north end of FS 75, the road across the sky, and pick you up 15 miles later at CV State Park.

Directions to Start here,  Matt Young at  matt@wvruncoach.com
