About the Event

Join us on the bike trails in Sherando Park for another extraordinary summer of trail racing. This year we will be offering a 5K, 10K and 50K. All three races will test your skill and ability but leave you wanting to do it again. This year each participant will receive a T-shirt for each race.

Each year our races benefit local charities or groups. This year the 5K will be a benefit for the Sherando Girls Soccer team. The 10K and 50K will again benefit the Blue Ridge Wildlife Center.
