About the Event

The Hone Quarry Ultra is a trail endurance race that begins and ends at Briery Branch in the scenic Shenandoah Valley. After entering the George Washington National Forest, the course winds its way through the mountains surrounding the Hone Quarry Recreational Area. Participants will experience towering cliff walls, open meadows, beautiful single-track, impressive vistas, and several waterfalls.

Event Details

The 40 miler begins at 7:00 a.m. and has a 13 hr cutoff time (8 p.m.). Due to the remote access of this course, crews and pacers will not be allowed. Drop bags will be allowed at Union Springs (mile 12.7), HQ (mile 19.5), and Big Hollow (mile 28.4).

Course Description

The course is a large loop with a few out and back sections. Runners will climb and descend several mountain ridges, all while experiencing the area's amazing natural landmarks. Course highlights include the Hidden Rocks trail, 'Lover's Leap' Overlook, Hone Quarry Falls, HQ Reservoir and Flagpole Knob. Although there is a fairly generous cutoff time, we caution not to underestimate the course. This is a technical mountain race with ~8000' of elevation gain.
