Woody+Crest+Traverse



Well, this is quite the run! The planned adventure is to meet at Black Mountain Campground and then shuttle everyone to the Woody Ridge trail head. We will ascend Wood Ridge to the Crest trail, a short out and back to Celo Knob, and then run the Crest trail out to Mt Mitchell. From Mitchell, we'll head down the MST back to the campground. Expect 6000 ft of up and down, exposed ridges and scrambles, and potential bad weather. There will be no aid provided during this run, but you will pass by a snack stand at Mitchell near mile 9. Join this free, group run at your own risk!

__** Run Details **__ - 16 miles - no aid so be prepared to carry everything with you for at least 16 miles of rough trail (4+ hours) - THIS IS NOT A RACE!!! This is a free group run for like minded individuals looking for some awesome trails and scenery - You are responsible for yourself! Carry a cell phone! - Most of this run takes place over 6000 ft! So it is probably going to be cold despite what it feels like down at the campground. Dress and pack for any type of weather! It could 50 degrees and sunny or sideways rain and 33 degrees. Don't get caught unprepared!
