Highlands Sky 40 Mile Trail Run

The Highlands Sky 40 Mile Trail Run is a premier ultramarathon held annually in Davis, West Virginia, primarily within the Monongahela National Forest. Starting and finishing at Canaan Valley State Park, the challenging 40-mile course traverses rugged and scenic terrain including the Roaring Plains and Dolly Sods Wilderness Areas, known for their high plateau, rocky landscapes, stunted trees, and mountaintop meadows. Runners experience diverse trail conditions through northern hardwood forests, red spruce, heath barrens, sphagnum bogs, and boulder-strewn plains. This event, organized by the West Virginia Mountain Trail Runners, offers a unique and demanding mountain trail running experience in one of the most beautiful natural settings in the eastern United States.
