Start: 10:00 am
Canary in the Cave is located in Fayetteville, West Virginia and is the last WVMTR race of the year. Extending slightly past the 25 kilometer distance, the + symbol characterizes the extra mileage and the extra fun you’ll have at this race!
The course travels over mountain bike trails first developed by volunteers of the International Mountain Bike Association. After descending the Craigs Branch and Kaymoor Trails into the heart of the gorge, runners make the arduous ascent up the Miners Trail which once provided access to the now abandoned Kaymoor Mine. The race features spectacular views of the famous New River Gorge Bridge which also appears on the West Virginia state quarter.
