  Itinerary:

  Thursday check-in begins at 11 am ahead of our opening stroke/speed session at James Madison University (JMU) pool. We will start with a light drill set, getting our feel of the water. Then we light the afterburners for a high octane set of 25 and 50’s. We will then get on the bike for a light group spin to the base of a small climb in which we will work on various climbing and descending techniques. These will be key tools to have in your toolbox as this camp will put your climbing and descending skills to the test. The day concludes with an optional track workout of 15x200 meters. An opportunity to turn over the legs while they are still fresh.

  Friday is when multisport gets reimagined. The morning starts with a swim set at JMU learning open water skills within a swim set. We will work on drafting, staying efficient in traffic and different self-preservation skills.

  Then, refuel and gear up for a brick workout. Starting off with a ride, the group will head out of Harrisonburg rolling toward the mountains. At the midway aid station, we will have your run shoes awaiting. This will be your long run for the weekend on gravel Forest Service roads. Most will perform an out and back course while others may opt for a looped trail which includes some ridgeline running. After the run athletes can either call it a day and hang out in compression boots or jump on their bikes and roll downhill to Harrisonburg.

  Saturday is pure and simply a long ride day. At Paul State Park riders will shed anything they do not want to climb with. This is where the day starts in earnest as the terrain kicks up and riders climb 9 miles at an average 5.8% grade. Most riders will finish between 1 and 2 hours. A support vehicle will follow today's ride and meet riders at the summit to savor the views and take some photos before enjoying the long flowing paved descent. Riders will have the option to descend back down to Paul State Forest completing a 35 mile ride or roll down the backside completing a 75 mile loop totaling more than 7500’ of climbing.

  Sunday is the legendary 4 hour points event at Arrowhead Lake. This is the essence of multisport fun. Some design their dream triathlon, and others will choose to bounce between their favorite two sports. Then there are those few that just stick to seeing how far they can go in 4 hours in a single sport. A 500 yard open water swim course, 17 mi bike course, and 5k run course will be supported for 4 hours. Athletes will get a designated amount of points for completing each of the loops. The multisport extravaganza will be followed up by a closing BBQ.

  The 2026 Valley Veterans Ride for Heroes has three beautiful, scenic road routes ranging in length from a metric century, a 40 mile mid-distance, and a shorter 26 miles. You also have the option of riding with us as a virtual event anywhere in the nation, and we have a fundraiser discount for those who help us with our fundraising. Those who choose the fundraiser discount will be charged $25 at the time of registration and given the tools to raise funds between time of registration and when fundraising ends on September 19th. Fundraisers will be charged an additional $75 after registration closes, if they fail to raise the $100.

  This year, we have a new t-shirt design which is included in the registration price. Be sure to select a t-shirt size when you register. T-shirts are guaranteed with registration up until August 18th. After that, shirts are provided based on availability. Virtual riders will have t-shirts mailed to participants if we have a valid home address.

  The course will be physically marked and there will be rest stops and support along the routes. The routes are laid out so that you can choose to go further or shorter than the distance for which you registered.
