MMT Training Academy Run 3: Camp Roosevelt to Camp Roosevelt
This supported training run previews the final third of the Massanutten Mountain Trails 100 mile course, running from Camp Roosevelt and finishing at the Camp Roosevelt horse parking lot rather than at Caroline Furnace.
The route covers 35 miles with about 6,000 feet of total ascent and includes climbs through Duncan Hollow, across Kerns Mountain, up Bird Knob, and up Big Run to Scothorn. Due to a course change in 2019, the route does not include a second ascent of Jawbone; after passing the Gap Creek trailhead the second time, the course follows Crisman Hollow Road to Camp Roosevelt Road and finishes with a short paved climb back to the horse parking lot.
There are two aid opportunities supplied by participants at these locations:
- Visitor Center, 13.6 miles
- Route 211, 24.5 miles
Each runner is assigned a common aid item to bring to both stations; some food will be provided at the finish. Runners are advised to carry additional supplies for recovery and support their own aid needs.
The start takes place in darkness, so a light is required. Navigational aids are recommended; a GPX file and a turnsheet are available and a National Geographic trail map for the area may be useful.
Entry opens Monday February 15, 2027 at 9:00 am and is limited to 65 runners. The event does not provide medical care; runners are responsible for their own health and safety and should be prepared for remote conditions and common trail injuries.
