Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it is with great sadness and sincere regret to announce that we are cancelling the 2020 Grindstone 100 and MMTR 50 events. These cancellations also effectively annul the 2020 Beast Series and LUS. If you are entered in one of these events and have not received an email from the race director please contact us regarding the matter. Thank you.
Mountain Masochist Trail Run
Started in 1983, the MMTR has earned its reputation for being one of the “best trail races in the east”. The 50 mile course itself is a physically challenging combination of roads, jeep trails, and single track that can cause even the most experienced runner to breathe a sigh of relief at the finish line in Montebello, VA. Ample aid stations and tried and true organization makes the race a perfect first 50 miler. However, you must train hard for this race; you must train yourself physically, mentally, and maybe even spiritually if you want to accomplish something truly remarkable!
BEAST & LUS Notice
The MMTR is event #5 in the Beast Series and the last of the 4 LUS events.register
Online registration opens May 1, 2020.

You’ll run down 56 and finish at the Montebello Camp Ground entrance. Just like the old days.
