The course

Where it goes loop · 11 aid stations

Course line from the race's own GPX. Source file.

A single loop along the Massanutten ridges that encircle Fort Valley. It follows the 100 mile course north to Elizabeth Furnace, then south to Camp Roosevelt, and returns to Caroline Furnace to finish.

The race

What this one is

A 100.6-mile loop trail ultramarathon on rocky singletrack encircling Fort Valley, Virginia, in the Massanutten Mountains. Run and organized by the Virginia Happy Trails Running Club, starting and finishing at the Caroline Furnace Lutheran Camp, with a 36-hour time limit.

First run in 1995. Ed Demoney was race director from 1995 through 2003 (with Chris Scott handling race-day duties in 1996); Stan Duobinis took over for the 2004 event, when the field had grown to 117 starters, and by the end of his seven-year term the race filled to 180 with a waitlist of 48; Kevin Sayers became the third director in July 2010. The current course was shortened in 2019. The 2026 running was the race's 30th.
