=The Mount Mitchell Marionthon(s)=

What: A self-supported trail marathon (x2) along the Mountains-to-Sea Trail from the Woodlawn Work Center (north of Marion on US-221) to Mt. Mitchell. A one way traverse up to Mitchell has approx. 9000 ft. climbing. Round trip is ~13,000'.

When: October 2nd (start time TBD)

Who: Any self-supported, experienced trail runner is welcome to join me (post on discussion board above).

Additional info: Transportation down from the summit should be arranged beforehand unless planning a round-trip. this run was first held on New Years 2009, documented here. Note that there will be no aid except for the concession stand on the summit of Mitchell, which will hopefully still be open! Mount Mitchell State Park: 828-675-4611 Live webcam.
