Frontcountry Trail Run - West Tiger Mountain No. 3

WT3 November Series 4 of 4

  • Moderate/Strenuous
  • Easy
  • Mileage: 6.0 mi
  • Elevation Gain: 2,100 ft

Run 4 of 4 for WT3 November series. This series is not connected to any course or program and is open to Mountaineers members and +1s. This mini series will consist of four individual runs happening every Tuesday morning in November, all topping out on WT3 primarily via WT3 trail and Section Line.

Intended for new to moderately experienced runners looking to keep their fitness up during shoulder season, bump their year-end vert totals, and stay motivated while we're all waiting for the snow to fall. Each of these runs is routed with specific intention to work on uphill pacing, downhill stability & confidence, as well as bolstering your head for running in the dark, all made easier by running in good company.

4/4 - Start at the 79th St parking lot (outside the High Point TH gate), run the short connecting trail leading to HP TH, up West Tiger 3 trail summiting WT3, down the upper two legs of Section Line, across Talus Rock Trail, down Nook Trail, back to High Point TH, and out via the connector back to 79th St.

The goal for this run is to continue building uphill pacing and confidence, as well as target some steeper downhill lengths. WT3, Section Line, and Nook trails all offer excellent opportunities to work on footing, balance, and downhill cadence, all with consideration given to current conditions for safety. 

Circle up at 79th St. TH at 650AM to discuss route, goals, and conditions, to be moving by 7AM.
Estimated RT time of 1.5hrs.
