Course
The route runs along the Greenbrier River Trail on a largely flat former rail corridor. Consistent grade favors rhythm, while crushed surface and long linear stretches feel different from pavement.
Race-day weather
Early October in Pocahontas County often brings cool air and changing leaves, but rain, fog or a warm afternoon remain possible. River-valley shade can hold morning chill.
