Middle Ridge Monster 8 Hour Run
The Middle Ridge Monster is scheduled for Saturday, May 9, 2026, at 1077 Range Rd, Charleston, WV 25304. The event is organized by the WVMTR club and is presented as an 8-hour trail running event. A course map and directions are provided by the organizer.
Event format and entry
The event is described as a free WVMTR club event with no registration fee. Participants are required to register on RunSignUp so an e-signed waiver and emergency information are on file. Joining the club is not required to participate; yearly WVMTR membership is listed at $10.
The format is loop-based, with participants able to access their vehicles at the end of each loop and obtain additional food or aid. Organizers state there are no cut-offs; runners may attempt a distance personal record, aim for a first ultra, or run for a shorter time such as two hours. The event is described as a social gathering focused on trail running and the club’s interpretation of "old school" ultra running. Sponsors are listed as the WVMTR organization.
