Nestled in the mountains of Southwest Virginia, Hungry Mother State Park offers a challenging network of trails. This 50K is two laps of a 15.6 mile course with approximately 3,500 feet elevation gain per lap. (The 25K will be one lap of the same course.) The park consists of some well-groomed as well as more technical trail sections.
Best of all, this race is ultimately a fundraiser for Imagination Library of Smyth County. Your registration helps get free books in the hands of Smyth County children! Registration is now open through Ultra Signup! Each finisher will receive a performance shirt from Savage Apparel Co, a pair of AirEator socks from DeFeet, a boxed lunch from Sister’s Cafe, a beer, and a unique finisher award.
All of our race registrants will receive a code for 25% off reservations at Hungry Mother State Park!
Our meal is from Sister’s Cafe & Gifts, a favorite local restaurant. Each participant receives a boxed lunch included with their registration which includes a sandwich, chips, pickles, a cookie, and a drink. If it’s chilly, we will also have soup available. You can order additional food as for family and friends (or you) HERE. (It is a ten-minute drive out to other restaurants.)
Each 25K & 50K race participants will receive a pair of DeFeet AirEator socks with their race entry! These custom socks will have our race logo on them so that each time you wear them, you will remember your experience at the Hungry Mother 25K & 50K race. You can also order additional socks or purchase them at the race for $10.00 as a fundraiser for Imagination Library of Smyth County.
