James River Trail Runs
Join us for the first Ultra to be held at James River State Park. Choose from a variety of distances including: 10 miler, 50k, 50 mile relay and 50 mile solo. All distances begin at 7:30am on October 1st and have a 16 hour cutoff.
The course is a 10 mile loop that features a variety of trails. The first 5 miles involve lots of climbing and descending along beautiful single and double track trails. Around mile 6 runners will begin a section that parallels the Historic James River. These 3.5 miles are flat and fast, although it can also be sunny and warm here. The final .5 mile involves a nice steep climb back to the start/finish line. Full loop details are available at the race website
No DNF's
This race is built to encourage new trail runners to attempt something difficult as well as offering experienced runners a challenging course. The race format takes a page from fixed time events. Sign up for whatever distance you would like. As long as you finish a loop you will receive a finish time for the 10 miler. Finish 3 loops and you receive a 50k time. Runners finishing all 5 loops will be official 50 mile finishers. Additionally the race offers a generous 16 hour cap for every distance. The race features roughly 4000 feet of climbing for the 50 miler
