On May 17, 2026, lace up for an incredible point-to-point adventure through New River Gorge National Park in Thurmond, WV, where you'll choose your own challenge: a 50-mile ultra, 50K ultra, or 50-mile relay. Navigate demanding singletrack trails, rocky ascents, and breathtaking vistas while racing to the finish line in the historic ghost town of Thurmondβ€”where you might just find yourself in a friendly competition with an Amtrak train and celebrating with champagne at the end. Named after a classic railroad signal meaning "track clear, proceed at full speed," this event perfectly captures the spirit of technical trail running, spectacular mountain views, and the supportive running community that makes it truly special.
