Event Description
| The Odyssey Trail Running Rampage will bring in Fall with four great trail running races, The Trail Five-Miler, The Trail Half Marathon, the Trail Marathon, and the 40 mile Trail Ultra. All of these great races are part of the 2010 Trail Runner Trophy Series. These trail races will give athletes the opportunity to run on some of the best trails in the Southeast at a gorgeous state park nestled in the mountains of VA, Douthat State Park. Get together with family and friends this a weekend at Douthat State Park which has a lot to offer, hiking, mt.biking, paddling, fishing, and relaxing. The race course will be a loop format which will offer challenging uphills, fast downhills and beautiful views at multiple points on the trail. Racers will run along creeks with waterfalls and through Rhododendron covered tunnels engulfing the trails. A loop will have a total elevation gain of 2400’ over 13 miles, the majority of which will be gained in the first four miles. The 40 mile Ultra will entail 3 laps; the Marathon 2 laps; and the Half Marathon 1 lap. The Five-Miler will incorporate the last five miles of the loop. There will be 3 fully stocked aid stations at miles 3.5, 8.75 and 11.25 (mile 2.25 for the Five-Miler) of each loop. They will have HEED water, flat cola, potatoes and salt, banana halves, and pretzels at each station. Ultra and Marathon runners will be able to stage supplies at the finish of the loop. |
