From the Organizer
There’s a certain kind of clarity that only shows up after a few hours on your feet.
Lynchburg UltraFest is the first event of its kind in Lynchburg—a true 24-hour ultra experience inside a city park, built around simplicity: one loop, one space, and the opportunity to keep showing up.
Run it solo. Run it as a team.
Either way, the challenge is the same.
The course is a .84-mile paved loop inside Riverside Park. You’ll start and finish in the same place every lap—near the gazebo and caboose. No guesswork. No point-to-point logistics. Just rhythm.
This race is for anyone willing to stay in it a little longer than they’re used to.

About These Sports
This race spans more than one sport — here’s a guide to each, so you can understand what’s involved and decide if it’s the right fit. For course distances, logistics, and race-day specifics, always defer to the race organizer’s event page.
Ultramarathon
An ultramarathon is anything beyond the standard marathon — 50K, 50-mile, 100K, 100-mile, and timed events. Crossing the line is less about speed and more about not quitting.
Running
From 5K to marathon, running races are an accessible entry point into endurance sport. There's a distance for every fitness level and a community at every start line.
