What Makes It Great

The shorter solo option at the Falling Water Ultras, the Falling Water 50K covers two 25K loops on the trails of ACE Adventure Resort and New River Gorge National Park. Runners get the same waterfall crossings, Arbuckle Creek rock-hop, and gorge views in a more manageable format — a great training run or a stepping stone toward the full 100K. Campsite at the start/finish is included with registration.
