About the race

The Dark Skies 100K is a challenging point-to-point trail race held in Pocahontas County, West Virginia, as part of the West Virginia Trail Fest. Starting at Seneca State Forest headquarters, the course features stunning views as runners pass the Seneca fire tower, traverse the Allegheny and Greenbrier River trails, and cross a swing bridge near Hosterman. The route includes a mix of fire roads and single-track trails leading to Bald Knob, where runners can climb the fire tower for panoramic vistas.

The race finishes at Snowshoe Village, covering approximately 100 kilometers with about 11,500 feet of elevation gain, summiting some of West Virginia's highest peaks. The event offers a generous 20-hour cutoff time. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
