The Hellbender 10k
The Hellbender 10k is scheduled for October 2, 2027, in Norton, VA. The event is a road or trail course that covers 10 km (about 6.2 miles) and runs from downtown Norton up to the High Knob summit.
The route gains more than 2,000 feet in elevation as it climbs to the High Knob summit at approximately 4,200 feet. High Knob is identified as the highest point in the Cumberland Mountain range. The course therefore includes sustained uphill sections and a notable net elevation gain between the downtown start area and the summit finish area.
Information on registration is listed as coming soon. The event has an official website and social media presence for updates and additional details about the course and event plans.
The description above summarizes the course distance, elevation profile, summit elevation, and location. Other logistical details are available from the event organizer through the event website and social channels. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
