About the Event

Join us on the bike trails in Sherando Park for another extraordinary summer of trail racing.  This year we are bringing back the 10K and 25K.  New to this year is the 50K to complete the series.  All three races will test your skill and ability but leave you wanting to do it again.  This year each participant will receive a T-shirt for each race.

Each year our races benefit a couple of charities.  This year the 10K will raise money for the Area 13 Special Olympics.  The 25K and 50K will benefit the Blue Ridge Wildlife Center.

This year the race will start and end at the new Sherando Park Bike Park / Outdoor Fitness Gym parking lot.  On Google Maps you can punch it in as 525 Line Drive, Stephens City, VA, and it will get you there.  It is a large parking area and has bathroom facilities.  Check-in for the race will begin at 0700 and the race will start at 0800.  There will be water and snacks at the finish and one water stop mid-way through the course.
