Forever 5 & 10 Milers is a trail running and running race on January 30, 2027 in Blue Ridge, VA, with entry fees from $35 to $45.
This race uses part of the Hellgate 100k course (miles 55-60) and is known as the Forever Section. It's a tough rocky backcountry section of the Glenwood Horse Trail that goes between Day Creek Day Use Area to Bobblets Gap Road. Both courses will be out and back. The 5 miler will have a volunteer or timing point at the halfway point and the 10 miler will have a timing point at Bobblets Gap Road to verify that you made it all the way to the turnaround.
It's too far out for a forecast, so here's what weather on this date is normally like in the area. A race day forecast will replace this as race week approaches.
