Crystal Springs Ultra Races
The Crystal Springs Ultra Races take place in the scenic Crystal Springs Recreation Area in Wytheville, Virginia, featuring challenging and technical trails like the High Rocks Spur and Boundary Trail loops. The event offers three race distances: a 50k+ ultra (38.4 miles, 6,024 ft elevation gain), a marathon (25.6 miles, 4,016 ft gain), and a half marathon (12.8 miles, 2,008 ft gain), all run on a loop course. The race provides a rugged trail experience suitable for various skill levels and serves as excellent preparation for other local races.
Unique features include a cupless race policy requiring runners to carry their own hydration and a budget-friendly "Leftover Option" entry with minimal perks. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
