Nasty 9 Trail Run

The Nasty 9 Trail Run takes place in Lexington, Virginia, within the scenic 600-acre Brushy Hills watershed in the Shenandoah Valley. This competitive trail race offers two distances: a challenging 9-mile course featuring over 2,000 feet of vertical gain, and a shorter 3-4 mile course with about 500 feet of climbing. Both routes are run entirely on single-track trails maintained by the Friends of Brushy Hills, a volunteer group.

The event supports local conservation efforts and area high school and middle school track and cross-country teams, combining a competitive atmosphere with community and environmental stewardship. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
