The IMTR is a USATF sanctioned (usually) trail race starting and finishing in Damascus, VA [in some years RRCA has been the insurance provider and USATF is not used for sanctioning]. Four distance options are available- 16, 30, 40, & 50 miles. The footing varies from open easy running along the VA creeper trail (and forest service roads) to technical single track. The majority of the run follows the Iron Mountain ridgeline through the Jefferson National Forest along what used to be the Appalachian Trail. The total climb for the 50 mile course is around 8000 feet. The time limit for official completion for the 50 mile distance is 12 hours (8 hours for the 16 mile distance, 10 hours for the 30 mile distance, and 12 hours for the 40 mile event).

Registration should open up on June 1.

Registration fees are $30 for all race distances if registering the first week registration opens. After the first week of registration, registration fees will increase to $60 for all distances. Registration fees only include aid during the race and a post race meal. Race shirts are an additional $20.
There are NO REFUNDS for any reason, no transferring of an entry to another runner, and no deferring an entry to a later year.
