Test your endurance at the EHQ Valley Falls 6 & 12 Hour race! With 750′ of vertical gain per ~5.25-mile loop, it’s not an easy course!
Gravel service roads, single track trails, streams, rocky climbs, rolling trails, and of course the beautiful falls – this beautiful West Virginia state forest has a bit of everything!
Trails will be very clearly marked.
