Babcock Sticks & Stones 15K is a fall trail race in Clifftop, West Virginia, limited to 150 runners. It is a rugged point-to-point 15K, approximately nine miles, run on trails rather than roads or through town. Packet pickup is available the evening before and on race morning. Runners will use a shuttle from the finish area to the start. The route begins at Camp Washington Carver and ends at Mann’s Creek Gorge Overlook. It crosses Babcock State Park in the New River Gorge region, featuring trails with waterfalls, rhododendron tunnels, wooden bridges, and rocky ascents. The runner cap and challenging footing create an intimate, backwoods trail feel, with the course providing the primary focus.
