Join us for our annual trail race at Sherando Park—and get ready for an unforgettable fall challenge! Now in its 7th year, this mixed-surface four-mile trail race takes runners through the paved paths and wooded trails of Sherando Park’s scenic mountain bike trail system. Whether you’re a seasoned trail runner or tackling your first off-road race, you’ll enjoy a challenging and rewarding course surrounded by crisp fall air and vibrant autumn colors. ✨ New for 2026: We’re excited to introduce a Mountain Bike Time Trial to this event! Cyclists will have the opportunity to test their speed and skills on the Sherando Park mountain bike trails in a timed, individual-start format, adding a whole new level of competition and excitement to race day. Proceeds from all events will benefit the I’m Just Me Movement, supporting confidence, inclusion, and self-acceptance in our community. Not up for four miles on trails? We’ve got you covered! We’ll also offer an untimed One Mile Fun Run/Walk, perfect for participants who want to support the cause while enjoying a shorter, paved option. The one-mile course will be an out-and-back on the paved Sherando Park path, with a course marshal stationed at the turnaround. Mile participants will start just before the four-mile race. Date: Saturday, September 26th Time: 8:30 AM Location: Sherando Park - Mountain Bike Trails Race Day Registration & Packet Pickup: Saturday, September 26th: 7-8 am at the Race Start/Finish area
