Virginia Happy Trails Running Club

Run 3: Camp Roosevelt to Camp Roosevelt

This run covers the last 40 or so miles of MMT, from Camp Roosevelt to the finish. At 37.5 miles with 6,800 feet of ascent, it is the longest and most difficult of the Training Academy runs, with climbs up Duncan Knob, Kern’s Mountain, Bird Knob, Scothorn, and Jawbone (twice). At least the last five miles are downhill.

Start time is 6:00 a.m. — in the dark — so you will need a light. PATC Maps G and H are also required (available online here and here, or in most local outfitters — REI or Hudson Trail, etc.).
