Gristmill Grinder Half Marathon and 5K Fun Walk

Dates: April 13, 2013

The Babcock Gristmill Grinder is a half marathon trail race on a truly spectacular trail course through the rugged terrain of Babcock State Park. This event will challenge you with single track trails, double track, and occasional short road sections. This course will also reward you with spectacular overlooks, and occasional green moss ferns, rhododendron tunnels, waterfalls and more. The last few miles will take you along the old Sewell dirt road besides the beautiful Glade Creek, and up to and past the famous Gristmill.

The Fun Walk is on the road and you can expect beautiful scenery and little to no traffic. Starting at the same start/finish area as the run, we are walking to the Gristmill and back. If you are here with someone doing the run, this is a great alternative. So come out and enjoy the day with a great walk in the park.

Trail Maintenance Weekend

Dates: April 27-28, 2013

What would you do for a FREE two-night stay in an ACE Cozy Cabin? OK, free might be a stretch. We need your help and are offering a handsome reward.

Simply donate some of your precious time and maybe break a sweat to help the ACE crew maintain its biking and hiking trails, and we supply a cabin complete with satellite TV, full kitchen and private hot tub. Mother Nature is not always kind to the West Virginia hills so we like to rally the troops to clean things up before the season starts.

As a weekend crew member, work starts on Saturday 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. Sunday, the crew works from 9 a.m. - noon. At the end of each day, we'll take a mountain bike ride to give you a preview cruise of your efforts.

This is a great way to kick-start the season. Call 800-787-3982 to make your reservation.

A $25 deposit is required to hold your cabin for the weekend. It is refundable upon completion of your trail work. If you find you are unable to attend, this deposit is refundable by contacting us at least two weeks prior to your arrival date. Per the security agreement deluxe cabins require a credit card on file.
