New River Trail Races

The New River Trail Races, held in Fries, VA, offer a scenic running experience along the New River and Chestnut Creek within the New River Trail State Park. Participants can choose from four distances: 100k, 50k, 25k, and a 10K, all on flat, dirt out-and-back courses. The event emphasizes sustainability with a cupless race format, requiring runners to carry their own hydration containers.

Aid stations are strategically placed along the routes, providing essential supplies. Awards are presented for overall and age group categories. Registration closes the day before the event, and no refunds are offered for entry fees. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
