Event information
This is a challenging out-and-back walk on the Appalachian Trail. The 5k goes from Newfound Gap Road at 5000 ft elevation to junction with Road Prong Trail with only a 500 ft elevation gain. The 13k route goes on to junction with Fork Ridge Trail with an elevation gain of 1000 ft. This is the AT with all its ups and downs, rocks, and roots. Restrooms are available at the Start Point. Be sure to check the weather before walking. Hwy 441 can be closed at times due to ice and snow. This trail goes from difficult to dangerous in icy conditions.
