The course

Where it goes out and back · 12 aid stations

A hundred miles between Whitetop and Abingdon, Virginia, run as three full passes of the Virginia Creeper Trail: out to Abingdon, back up to Whitetop, and out to Abingdon again to finish. Rolling, runnable rail-trail grade the whole way, with well-stocked aid stations at every named stop.

The race

What this one is

A hundred miles on the Virginia Creeper Trail through the Appalachian mountains: a USATF-certified, crew-friendly course on the country's only National Scenic Rails to Trail, with well-stocked aid stations along the way. It's where first-timers find their ultra legs and speed demons chase sub-24-hour finishes, run start to finish between Whitetop and Abingdon, Virginia.

Grew out of Yeti Trail Runners, a community founded in 2010 when Jason Green hand-built trail in his own garage and invited friends to run it. The Yeti 100 itself first ran in 2015 and returns most every October.

I keep this catalog because the information is scattered and hard to trust. Telling you when it moves is the same job.
