Crystal Springs Ultra Races

Experience the breathtaking landscapes and challenging terrains of the Crystal Springs Ultra Races, set in the picturesque Crystal Springs Recreation Area in Wytheville, Virginia. Offering three distances - the 50k+, marathon, and half marathon - this event caters to athletes of all skill levels. The technical trails of High Rocks Spur Trail and Boundary Trail provide a perfect training ground for local races like Iron Mountain Trail Races and Rim to River 100. Shuttle service is available due to limited parking, and participants must carry a collapsible cup for the cupless race. Enjoy aid stations with a variety of snacks and hot foods, and don't miss the unique Leftover Option for a minimalist racing experience. Join us for a thrilling race day filled with dirt, grit, and glory, and compete for the title of Leftover King or Queen. Volunteer opportunities are also available, offering a chance to earn a free race entry for future events.
