I had the great privilege of running the Crooked Road 24-hour race in southwestern Virginia. This race gets its name from a rich local music tradition in the area. The Crooked Road ties together 19 counties and more than 50 towns where heritage music is celebrated year round.
I had never run a race in the South. When Ultracentric in Texas was abruptly canceled, and all the registration fees pocketed by a “crooked RD”, I turned my attention to Crooked Rd 24-hours and was pleasantly delighted with the entire experience. I highly recommend this race. With fixed-time races like this, the objective is to run as many miles as you can during 24 hours.
