We’re offering both a 5K and 10K on the beautiful Virginia Capital Trail in Charles City. Choose your distance—all paces are welcome.
Event Schedule
7:00 AM – Packet Pickup Opens 8:00 AM – Races Start
To keep the Capital Trail safe and comfortable for all users, runners will be released in small groups of 1–3. Your chip time begins when you cross the starting mat and ends when you cross the finish mat—so your race is truly your race.
Celebrate your finish with your medal and a well‑earned post‑race refreshment.
