Training for the races: Loch Haven is a private membership club. Call if you want membership details (540) 366 - 1174. You will not be able to use Loch Haven prior to the event unless you are a member.

I suggest you either park at the Bennett Spring Parking Lot or at the end of Timberview Road. Using the Cove requires a Trail Usage pass. You can get these passes at Just the Right Gear on Route 311.

Timberview - At the end of this road is an asphalt cul-de-sac. Do not park on the asphalt. You can park in the grassy area in front of the metal gate. From here you can run the course minus the 2.5 miles to and from Loch Haven.

Bennett Springs - Just north of Salem on route 311. Take Carvin's Cove Road to a stop sign, go right, and take this back to the big gravel parking lot on the right. This is the best location for parking but you'll miss out on some of the course from here.

What a day! Thanks for coming out and playing in the outdoors with us and all the other Mountain Junkies! This was the final event of our 2013 six event Roanoke Non Ultra Trail Series presented by Foot Levelers Inc.

Thank you to all of our great volunteers! You guys did great and were an integral part of this day's success.

With the early forecast calling for temps in the upper 80's then turning to potential severe thunderstorms, we weren't sure what we would be getting into today. But all in all except for the last 35 minutes of the race and cleanup the weather held up and ended up being much milder than what we expected.

We hope that your experience with the race was a good one and that you are happy (give it a day or two) with your participation in this challenge we call Conquer the Cove. If you have any doubt in your ability to run further, you shouldn't. If you can run the 25k you can run a marathon. If you can run the marathon you can run an ultra. Keep pushing the limit and having fun.
