Virginia 100 and 50 mile : October 10, 2026

The route runs mostly beside the New River and crosses several long train trestles. Trail surface is dirt and crushed gravel. Elevation change is minimal, with most sections flat or about 1 percent grade, making the course largely runnable. Notable scenery includes fall foliage, river rapids and waterfalls near Foster Falls.
