Virginia 100 and 50 mile
The event is organized by Run Bum Races in Max Meadows, VA, on the New River Trail, a 57 mile rails-to-trails path. The course runs alongside the New River, crosses the river several times on old train trestles, and passes Foster Falls. The trail surface is dirt and crushed gravel. Elevation change is minimal, with most of the route flat or at a 1% grade.
