James River Trail Runs

Join us for the first Ultra to be held at James River State Park. In 2026, we return for our 4th year! Choose from a variety of distances including: 10 miler, 50k, 50 mile relay and 50 mile solo. This year, we add a 10 mile night race at well! The race begins at 8:00am on April 12th and has a 16 hour cutoff.

The course is a 10 mile loop that features a variety of trails. The first 5 miles involve lots of climbing and descending along beautiful single and double track trails. Around mile 6 runners will begin a section that parallels the Historic James River. These 3.5 miles are flat and fast, although it can also be sunny and warm here. The final .5 mile involves a nice steep climb back to the start/finish line. There are approximately 1025 feet of climbing each 10 mile loop. Full loop details are available at the race website.
