New River Trail Races

The New River Trail Races offer a scenic running experience along the New River and Chestnut Creek in Virginia's New River Trail State Park. Participants can choose from four distances: 100k, 50k, 25k, and a 10k, all on flat, dirt trails. The event features an out-and-back course, with multiple aid stations stocked with refreshments.

Runners are required to carry their own water bottles as it is a cupless race. Awards are presented for overall and age group categories. The race emphasizes community involvement, with opportunities for volunteers and a focus on sustainability. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
