New River Trail Races

The New River Trail Races, held in Fries, Virginia, offer runners a variety of distances including 100k, 50k, 25k, and a 10k race. The courses are entirely flat, 100% dirt trails running along the scenic New River and Chestnut Creek within New River Trail State Park. Each race follows an out-and-back format, providing a peaceful and natural atmosphere.

Aid stations stocked with drinks and snacks support runners, and the event is cupless, requiring participants to carry their own hydration. The 100k finishers receive a commemorative buckle. The race emphasizes a well-organized experience with early start options and comprehensive support for ultramarathon and trail running enthusiasts.
