Running (Trail)
Echols Dorm: Brick Wall By Side Door
Ray's Campground (Hico, WV)
Glade Creek Trail, Beaver, WV, USA
My baby arms can’t climb three days in a row, so I’m gonna run on Friday!! Someone posted a trip to Glade Creek Trail a few years back and rumors have it theres a rope swing at the swimming hole pictured above! I think the swing is a mile out from the car so it would be awesome to stop by it on the way back. The plan will be to roll out of cville around 1 pm and drive 3 hours to the trailhead. We should have at least 2 hours to shake out our legs on the trails by the creek and check out a new swimming hole and get back to the car before the sun has totally set! We will be going straight to Ray’s after that to bask by the fire light that will surely be roaring.
https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/west-virginia/glade-creek-new-river-to-pinch-creek — Here is a link to the trail I would like to bop around. It’s 12 miles out and back and defo isn’t flat, but also not anything crazy (like 1300 ft total for all 12 miles). I don’t intend on running 12 miles, but am open to do anywhere from like 6-9 miles out and back depending on what people want! We will run an easy, but consistent pace. We can totally take breaks, but be ready to run for an hour or a little more at an 8-9 minute mile pace!!!
Please don’t sign up for this trip if you aren’t already attending NRGE and are on the main carpool! But DO sign up if you are attending because I want running and driving buddies :))) Just bring the rest of what you need for NRGE + running shoes!
