August 15 – 17, 2025
We are excited to bring back our Adult Running Camp in 2025!
Join us on Spruce Knob in August to train for a fall ultra marathon or trail race, or to expand your running into the wonderful world of trail running. Based out of the Spruce Knob Mountain Center, the home and heart of the WV Trilogy races, we will spend three full days exploring the trails of our campus and the adjoining Seneca Creek Backcountry.
Run amazing trails from our doorstep with expert guidance and clinics, connect with fellow runners, and enjoy our delicious food in the cool, clean air at the top of West Virginia. Our remote mountain campus is a great place to take a break from the world to jump start a training program or rekindle your motivation towards life goals.
2025 Features
The format of this weekend will be a shorter introductory run before dinner on Friday. Saturday will be a longer run loosely following parts of the 50 mile course. We will wrap up on Sunday with a cool down run and some stewardship in the form of trail work near everybody’s favorite “hill”.
Thanks to our sponsors West Virginia Mountain Trail Runners.
