New River Trail Races

The New River Trail Races are held in Fries, Virginia, within the scenic New River Trail State Park. The event features multiple race distances, including 100k, 50k, 25k, and 10k, all run on flat, dirt, out-and-back courses along the river and creek. Races start early in the morning, with aid stations offering drinks, snacks, and hot foods.

Participants can use drop bags at designated aid stations, and race day packet pick-up is available. The event emphasizes a cupless race experience, requiring runners to carry their own water bottles. Awards are given for overall and age group winners, celebrating the endurance and achievement of all runners. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
