About this race

BELLE ISLE BLITZ:ย  Chip timed trail 5K-ish with a similar course as the Filthy 5K-ish but no mud pit so you can spend your time focusing on the trails! Less actual mud not guaranteed

JAMES RIVER SCRAMBLE:ย  During your 6ish mile trail run you'll get to experience firsthand some of RVA's best outdoor gems including the Canal Walk, the James River Park System, Belle Isle, and the Floodwall.ย 

BUST THE BANKS:ย ย Prepare to take on Richmond's urban single track system on foot. It'll be gritty, and it's gonna be dirty, but it's not an event you want to miss. Dodge tree limbs, climb banks, coast downhill, and navigate to the finish. Run the banks alongside rapids, rocks, and see some amazing views of the city skyline.
