Massanutten Mountain Trail Training Academy: Chocolate Bunny

Description:

The Chocolate Bunny is a nighttime run designed to generally mimic what you could expect to experience during the night portion of the MMT 100 mile race. It is a marathon covering miles 70 to 96 of the MMT course, the section between the two Gap Creek/Jawbone aid stations — some sections of which all MMT runners will do in the dark. While it is the shortest of the Training Academy runs (an even marathon), it’s got plenty of challenges including Big Run, Kerns Mountain, and Bird Knob. Did we mention that it’s at night? The run starts and finishes at the Route 211 commuter parking lot, which is near mile 90 at MMT.
