The Course Map

The route will take racers up Wonderland Mountain from the resort center by Wonderland Waterpark. This initial climb gains roughly 250 feet in a mile before contouring for the next 2 miles through a beautiful hardwood forest. The course continues in this fashion with short sections of elevation change until the route finds a terrain bench to follow for a longer distance. You will love the views into the New River Gorge overlooking the town of Thurmond.

Complimentary Camping For Racers And Their Families!

Complimentary camping on Saturday night is offered to racers so make a weekend of it and bring along the family to enjoy ACE’s awesome activities. Get into some whitewater rafting, zip-lining, mountain biking, paintball, kayaking, or SUPs just to name a few options. A favorite activity among racers is Wonderland Waterpark, a 5 acre inflatable playground complete with waterslides, weeble wobbles, blobs, and more! Check out the menu at Woody’s & The Lost Paddle and don’t forget about deluxe lodging options with outdoor hot tubs that are perfect for soaking those sore muscles after the race.
