Iron Mountain Trail Run

The Iron Mountain Trail Run is a challenging trail race held in Damascus, Virginia, offering four distance options: 16, 30, 40, and 50 miles. The course features a mix of easy running along the Virginia Creeper Trail and technical single-track trails, with significant elevation changes, particularly for the 50-mile route, which includes an 8,000-foot climb. The event is typically scheduled for Labor Day weekend and is sanctioned by USATF.

Participants must complete their chosen distance within specific time limits, and awards are given to top finishers. The race emphasizes safety and requires runners to be prepared for potentially hazardous conditions. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
