From the Organizer
The colors, the crisp air, the cooler temperatures... Fall is the perfect time to get outside! Let's celebrate the season by running or walking on the scenic Virginia Capital Trail the morning of Saturday, October 24th!
Join the Virginia Capital Trail Foundation and Dominion Energy for a 10-mile or 5k race, run, or walk. A protected and paved 52-mile multi-use trail connecting Richmond and Williamsburg along the beautiful and historic Route 5 corridor and James River, our Cap Trail is a gem of a resource for runners and walkers.
All proceeds from this event support the Virginia Capital Trail Foundation's work to protect, promote, and enhance the Trail, and to engage the communities around it. Check out VCTF's website for more information.
Please note, this event is a CUP-LESS RACE. There will be no cups provided at the water stops. Please bring your own water bottles, bladders, or collapsible cups. Thank you for supporting a sustainable future by reducing single-use cups!
