Sunday, April 4th, 2027
A low-key, low-frills event run entirely on the beautiful Virginia Creeper Trail in Abingdon, Virginia. Amenities are minimal but all participants receive a race memento.
Our course is pleasantly scenic. The race starts and finishes on the Virginia Creeper Trail near the Abingdon Trailhead which is at the junction of Green Springs Road and the Virginia Creeper Trail, in Abingdon, Virginia.
Runners come to/thru the Watauga Trailhead three times (at miles 3.6, 15.6, 22.6) and the Alvarado Station Trailhead twice (approx. miles 8.5 and 10.7). Those locations have car/parking access which makes them wonderful access points for family and friends to photograph and cheer their runners on to an excellent finish.
Aid stations (every 3 - 3.5 miles) and the finish line will have water, sports drink, refreshments and homemade goodies.
