New River Trail Races

The New River Trail Races, held in Fries, VA, feature a variety of distances including 100k, 50k, 25k, and a 10K, all set along the scenic New River and Chestnut Creek in New River Trail State Park. The courses are entirely dirt and flat, designed as out-and-back routes. Participants can expect well-stocked aid stations and a cupless race format, requiring runners to carry their own hydration containers.

Awards are presented for overall and age group categories. The event emphasizes community involvement, with opportunities for volunteering and local support. Registration is available online, with specific deadlines for race shirts. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
