About the race
Grayson Highlands Trail Races take place at Grayson Highlands State Park in Mouth of Wilson, Virginia. The event offers four distances: 50 Mile, 50K, 25K, and 8 Mile. The course features dramatic mountain scenery and substantial elevation gain: about 7,500 ft for the 50M, 4,500 ft for the 50K, 3,000 ft for the 25K, and 1,400 ft for the 8M, with distances described as “ish” due to GPS variation.
Runners may glimpse wild ponies amid sweeping views. Perks include awards for top finishers, a beanie or hat for finishers, a medal, post-race food, and free race photos; proceeds support the park and local rescue groups. This is the 11th annual Run Bum Tours Grayson Highlands. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
