Grayson Highlands

Grayson Highlands trail races are held in Grayson Highlands State Park, near Mouth of Wilson, Virginia. The event offers four distances: 50-mile, 50K, 25K, and 8M, with elevation gains from about 1,400 ft (8M) to around 7,500 ft (50M) and race cutoffs of 4 to 16 hours. Promoted as a “must-do” bucket-list experience, the courses mix tough climbs with sweeping mountain scenery and the chance to see wild ponies along the way.

Runners receive swag such as a finishers medal and hat or beanie, plus post-race food and professional photos. Detailed course info, maps, and rules are provided on the organizer’s site. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
