West Virginia Trail Fest

The West Virginia Trail Fest is an annual family-friendly trail running event held in May in Pocahontas County, West Virginia, known for its mountainous terrain. The festival features multiple race distances including a challenging 100K, 60K, 30K, 5K, and a 1-mile kids run. Races showcase the region’s natural beauty, traversing three state parks, historic fire towers, and summiting some of West Virginia’s highest peaks.
