Crystal Springs Ultra Races
The Crystal Springs Ultra Races, held in Wytheville, Virginia, take place in the scenic Crystal Springs Recreation Area, featuring challenging and technical trails like the High Rocks Spur and Boundary Trail loops. The event offers three distances: a 12.8-mile half marathon, a 25.6-mile full marathon (two loops), and a demanding 38.4-mile ultra (three loops), with significant elevation gains. This loop course is designed for runners of various skill levels and serves as excellent preparation for other local races.
The race emphasizes sustainability as a cupless event, requiring participants to carry their own hydration. Limited parking necessitates shuttle use, and the race includes aid stations with food and drinks. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
