From the Organizer
This is the major fundraiser for the Crozet Trails Crew, a grassroots community organization whose mission is to simply connect Crozet and Western Albemarle with trails and greenways.
The Course starts in Crozet Park (on festival grounds by pavilions this year) and continues on the Crozet trail to the east of the Park (rustic trail, so plenty of roots, rocks, and ruts), and finishes back at Crozet Park. All runners get a race T-shirt. Course map is posted on crozettrailscrew.org
There will be prizes for overall male and female: first, second and third (first place male and female get a bridge named in their honor!)
***From scratch Pancake breakfast included this year with Great Valu and Yellow Mug Coffee sponsors!
There is a shorter option that still gets you out on the trails, the Family Fun Run. The course will start in Crozet Park and go by the dog park. After the bridge it will turn left on a recent extension of trail(~.75-mile) and back to the park. This section will eventually connect the trail to downtown Crozet. All registrants get a t-shirt (but no timing or places are awarded). Kids under 7 years old can participate in the Family fun run for free if they are accompanied by a registered participant.
There is limited 10k Trail Race! It will loop by Lickinghole basin. It will cross Lickinghole creek (you might get your feet wet) we're currently fundraising for a 50 foot bridge to connect the trails here. If you can please donate to help with the bridge. The race goes out by Chesterfield Land and back.
*** POST RACE TRAILS FEST at the finish. With Pancake breakfast- made from scratch! This year the start and finish is at Crozet Park's festival grounds and pavilions. With live music, from Susie and the Pistols ON THE NEW STAGE ! Starr Hill beer. All of the proceeds will go to Crozet Trails Crew

From Endurance Grid
About This Sport
Endurance Grid is here to help you understand the sport, decide if it's the right fit, and learn how to prepare. For course distances, logistics, and race-day specifics, always defer to the race organizer's event page.
The 10K is the distance where running stops feeling like a starting point and starts feeling like a sport. Long enough to require a real training block. Short enough that race day is fully manageable for a first-timer who's put in the work.
Race day energy at a 10K is community at its best — strangers cheering you by name, people moving toward the same goal, an atmosphere that solo training can't replicate. It's fast enough that you'll spend the whole race pushing rather than managing your effort.
This is also the distance that builds the base for everything else. Most athletes who go on to run half marathons, do triathlons, or compete in HYROX started here. What you need: running shoes fitted to your stride, a training plan, and the race on your calendar. The registration is what makes the deadline real.
How long to train: 4–8 weeks for most fitness levels.
Running
From 5K to marathon, running races are the most accessible entry point into endurance sport. There's a distance for every fitness level and a community at every start line.
