🏞️ Get ready to race through history in the New River Gorge Rim to Rim Race! 🏃‍♂️ Discover the heart of America's newest national park as you tackle Route 82, also known as Fayette Station Road, a historic gem over 100 years old. This iconic route predates the legendary New River Gorge Bridge (built in 1977), taking you back in time to an era when coal was king and adventure was abundant.

🚂 Originally crafted by the C&O railroad company to access and transport precious coal from the gorge, Fayette Station Road tells a story of growth and progress. The towns that once flourished along this route from the 1870s to the 1950s have left behind remnants of their past, providing a glimpse into the rich tapestry of American history. 🏗️ Ruins still stand along the New River, showcasing the resilience of time and the echoes of the past.

Ready to conquer the past and embrace the present? 🌟 Lace up those shoes, sign up for the Rim to Rim Race, and experience the exhilaration of racing through this historic marvel on foot. 🏅 Secure your spot at the Rim to Rim Race and delve into the history that echoes through the New River Gorge! 🌉 Learn more about this historic route: https://www.nps.gov/neri/planyourvisit/fayette-station-road.htm
