Break out of the mid-winter cabin fever for some snowy miles in Cannan Valley. The neighboring towns of Thomas and Davis offer a centralized location to numerous outdoor activities year round. Winter is not only for skiing, a slow run in the wild white of Tucker County is an invigorating and memorable event. All are welcome at this no cost WVMTR event, members and non-members.
This low key fun run WVMTR Club Event offers the choice of two distances, a selection of 7 miles or 14 miles, the group run begins and finishes at Mountain State Brewing Company. Sometimes there is a shuttle involved. Stay after the run to visit with friends and warm up beside the Mountain State fireplace. Sandwiches, soups, chili, snacks provided, no cost. Bring a little something if you like. Mountain State beverages for purchase as always.
