About
Grayson Highlands 50 Mile / 50k / 25k runs on May 1 and 2, 2027, from Mouth of Wilson, Virginia, at Grayson Highlands. The longest formats go first: the 50 miler and the 50K (31 miles) on Saturday, May 1. The following day brings the shorter options, a 25K (15.5 miles) and an 8-mile race, on Sunday, May 2.
Trail distances of this kind reward time on your feet far more than speed work. For the 50K, plan on four to five months of building with back-to-back long runs at weekends and regular hill work; the 25K and the 8-miler are realistic first steps onto technical ground for a road runner. Whichever you enter, practice eating while moving and train in the shoes and pack you intend to race in.
