Falling Water 100K

Like each Rim to River Endurance Co. race before it, the Falling Water 100K looks to bring something new & uniquely its own to ultra running in the New River Gorge. This course consists of 4 x 15.5 mile loops on the amazing trails at ACE Adventure Resort & dropping into New River Gorge National Park. The route incorporates the two main creeks in the area, Rush Run & Arbuckle. Run next to a multitude of waterfalls, along the banks of the New River, and test your skills at the picturesque Arbuckle Creek crossing. Views abound as each loop touts 2,400’ of elevation gain and loss. Run some of the same trails from the Rim to River 100 & Cabin Fever 50K while also getting on some brand new sections!

Runners will be treated to a hyped & overly stocked aid station at the /Finish area where they can access crew or their campsite/vehicle, but while out on each 15.5 mile loop, runners must carry all their own food/fuel. Hydration stations with water & Gnarly Fuel2-O will be available at the 5 & 10 mile point of each loop. Runners can compete solo with a 24-hour cutoff, with the 1st place male & female earning a free entry into that years Rim to River 100 in November! Solo runners are also allowed to have a pacer for their last loop. A two-person team option is available for those looking to tackle this as a 50K, as well as a four-person with each member running one 15.5 mile loop.

All runners registered by March 1 will receive a custom CRAFT race tee!

All solo finishers will receive a custom Falling Water 100K belt buckle. All finishers will receive a custom Falling Water 100K medal. Awards for top 3 finishers in all categories!

The Falling Water 100K is designed for pushing limits in this amazing landscape while also fostering the fun & encouraging feel that this trail & ultra running community is known for. Registration fee also includes a campsite for Friday & Saturday at the /Finish area if you want it!
