General Information
The Massanutten Training Academy is a series of four organized training runs for the Massanutten Mountain Trails 100 (MMT 100). The training runs are organized by Tom Corris, Brian McNeil, and Mike Bur, and sponsored by the Virginia Happy Trails Running Club (VHTRC). Details for each event are provided in the syllabus above. The following general guidelines apply to all four events:
- Tuition
- There is no entry fee. Most of the aid supplies are donated (see below) and the VHTRC foots the bill for the rest.
- Aid
- Upon enrollment, you will be asked to contribute one specified food or drink item (soda, potato chips, cookies, etc.) for the aid stations.
- Drop bags
- In addition to the community aid, you will have access to one small personal drop bag. Please ensure that your name is clearly marked on your drop bag so we know that it is yours.
- Volunteers
- Volunteers are needed to make this happen. Please consider “giving back” and helping out your fellow runners.
- More information
- You are responsible for knowing the way. Check out the MMT 100 web site for course information. Spend some time getting familiar with the course so that you don’t get lost.
- Questions?
- Please email Brian McNeil for more information on Run 1, and Tom Corris for information on Run 2, Run 3, and Chocolate Bunny.
