Mountain Masochist Trail Run 50 Miler

The Mountain Masochist Trail Run (MMTR) is a renowned ultramarathon held in Montebello, Virginia, featuring 100K, 50-mile, and 50K distances. Celebrated as one of the best trail races in the Eastern U.S., the course starts and finishes at Montebello Campground, traversing the scenic Blue Ridge Mountains during peak fall foliage. The route includes a mix of single-track trails, dirt and gravel roads, and old jeep and logging roads, with recent changes increasing mountain and single-track running while reducing gravel road sections.

Runners experience historic trails like the Mount Pleasant Loop and Old Hotel Trail, with aid stations along the way. The event offers camping options and a supportive community atmosphere with pre-race briefings and post-race meals. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
