Building on the success of the Gristmill Grinder 1/2 Marathon, West Virginia's most scenic trail run, The Sticks & Stones Trail run is a point to point 15K trail race that traverses the ridges and gorges of Babcock State Park...with a slightly gentler route. 

This race will immerse you in history and the awe inspiring vistas of the New River Gorge. Descend an old narrow gauge railroad grade flanking a creek gorge. Check. Pass a functioning historic gristmill. Yep. Challenge you with the most beautiful trails you'll ever hate. Uh huh. It's not easy, (hey it's a trail race) but trust us, it's worth it.
