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.

The event features well-stocked aid stations with drinks, snacks, and hot foods at select points. It is a cupless race, requiring runners to carry their own water containers. Notably, 100k finishers receive a buckle.

The race atmosphere is supportive and nature-focused, ideal for trail enthusiasts seeking a flat, scenic ultramarathon experience. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
