Course and logistics
The course follows the historical MMTR route run in reverse toward the Mount Pleasant Loop, using a mix of old and new trails. Runners travel southward over dirt and gravel roads in the National Forest and spend several miles on single track. Near Mount Pleasant the route uses the Old Hotel Trail and old jeep roads toward Long Mountain Wayside. After the Long Mountain aid station the second half includes dirt and old logging roads plus single track. The last aid station is at Porters Ridge, then the course descends about 3.5 miles toward Rt 56 and the Montebello Campground finish. The course runs in the Blue Ridge during peak fall foliage.
A training run is scheduled for Oct 4 from the Montebello Store, with parking behind the US Post Office; typical turn-around points are Forest Valley (18 miles) or Salt Log Gap (20 miles). Trail work is scheduled for Oct 18. Site-specific camping reservations are available through the event registration system; cabin rentals are handled through the Montebello Campground.
