About the race
Highlands Sky 40M is West Virginia’s premier ultramarathon, hosted by West Virginia Mountain Trail Runners. The 21st edition centers at Canaan Valley Resort State Park in Davis, WV, and covers 40 miles primarily through the Monongahela National Forest with sections on Timberline Ski Resort and the Canaan Valley National Wildlife Refuge, ending at Canaan Valley State Park. The course traverses Roaring Plains and Dolly Sods Wilderness Areas on the eastern United States’ highest plateau, offering rugged, scenic terrain: rocky terrain, stunted trees, mountaintop meadows, and habitats of northern hardwoods, red spruce, and heath barrens.
It emphasizes wilderness atmosphere and partnerships with the Monongahela National Forest. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
