Get ready to lace up for the New River Gorge Rim to Rim Race, an exhilarating 6-mile journey that's bound to be etched in your memory! Imagine running from one rim of the New River Gorge to the other, with the breathtaking West Virginian landscape as your backdrop. Hosted by Active Southern West Virginia at Adventures on the Gorge, this race is more than a run – it’s an adventure with perks! Enjoy closed roads, chip timing, a water station, bus transportation to the start, a finisher medal, t-shirt, and a well-deserved post-race brunch with a view.
Rise to the challenge as you tackle a 1300 ft descent and ascent, including a heart-pumping 20% incline known as the Burma Burn. Snap a photo at the overlook as you triumphantly cross the finish line. This event caters to all, from racers aiming for a new personal best to those preferring to walk and soak up the scenery, just keep a 20-minute mile pace. Remember the early bird gets the worm, with registration fees increasing as the race day approaches, so secure your spot and get ready to experience the rush of the Rim to Rim Race!
