Pawpaw 10 Miler

The Pawpaw 10 Miler and 5 Miler take place at Powhatan State Park in Powhatan, Virginia, featuring scenic runs along the James River, through open fields, shaded forests, and past historic cabin ruins. The event offers a 10-mile race and a shorter 5-mile option, both incorporating diverse terrain including flat river trails and challenging climbs. It coincides with the park’s annual Pawpaw Festival, which includes live music, a beer truck, and other festivities.

Participants enjoy a water station at mile 5 and receive a gender-specific shirt if registered early. Proceeds support the Friends of Powhatan State Park, enhancing the park’s mission and community engagement. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
