Cabin Fever 50K
The Cabin Fever 50K is a winter point to point ultramarathon held on February 20, 2027, across New River Gorge National Park. The race covers 50K of mixed terrain, including high ridgeline single track, waterfalls, and a descent to the New River near the New River Gorge Bridge. The course shares much of the Rim to River 100 route and runs from downtown Fayetteville to the finish at Hawks Nest State Park.
The field is limited to 300 runners per National Park Service requirements. Participants have 10 hours to complete the course; fully stocked aid stations support runners along the route. All finishers who complete the course within the allocated time receive a custom Cabin Fever 50K finisher medal. Awards are presented to the top 10 male and top 10 female finishers.
Registration opens October 3, 2026 at 8pm EST. Entry fees are listed as $155 through October 18 and $180 from October 19 to February 12. Runners who register by January 1 are guaranteed a custom race shirt. The organizer offers 100 percent refunds until January 1; deferrals, rollovers, or partial refunds after that date are considered on a case by case basis.
A free shuttle from the finish to the start will operate on race morning; participants must register for the shuttle by February 12. Proceeds support Adventure Appalachia, a nonprofit that funds outdoor programs and works to expand access to outdoor adventure in the New River Gorge region.
