    Sunday, Aug 2, 2026

    Start:

    9am

    Pickup: 745-845am Aug, 2 at the RunRideRace tent.

    Where:

    Pocahontas State Park (just south of Richmond, VA) 10301 State Park Road Chesterfield, VA 23832 (this address is to the main entrance of the park. At this point you will turn into the Bright Hope Equestrian Park on the south side of Beach) Standard parking fee will be collected by state park employees (unless you have a state park permit)

    We will be racing again on the Bright Hope Equestrian side of Pocahontas. There is plenty of room through transition for team tents and your personal support. You will pass the transition every 5.5 miles.

    Course: Note: race will be clockwise 2025 course

    This is clockwise on dirt road/paths ranging from 8-12 feet wide. The course will often feel like it only offers a single line, yet there is plenty of opportunity for passing. The loop is about 5.5 miles in distance. So, races are approx. 44, 33 and 16.5 miles.

    Equipment:

    Gravel, cross or mountain bikes work best and all have been ridden historically!

    Timing:

    This event will be chipped timed! Chip will be placed on your race number which must go on your bars facing forward.

    Results:

    Results will be posted online at this link: Results

    50 mile

    This is an 8 lap race. Each lap has been GPSed to about 5.5 miles. So, the finish will be about 44 miles depending on your gps accuracy. There also is a time cut of, like always. We decided to make a hard cutoff but give a few extra minutes to allow more racers to complete their laps. The time cut off to go out for your last lap will be 3 hours. We will cut the course off at that point.

    36 mile This is a new option this year. In the past this has been a B race, but with the 3 hour time limit to start your last lap we have seen that many 50 mile racer end up finishing 6 laps. So we decided to make that an option. This race will still have a 3 hour limit to start your last lap. This means, if you haven't completed your 6 laps but 3 hours you can head out for one more lap if you can do so before the clock hits 3 hours. Otherwise you will be credited with the completed laps.

    18 mile

    This division will be a 3 lap race (approx. 16.5 miles).

    Aid Station:

    Located near the completion of each lap, we will have a water station set up. This will be a place where water can be refilled and bottle hand-ups will be allowed (bring a friend or teammate to hand you your stuff). We will not have volunteers there to give hand-ups, so you should bring support if you will need assistance with water refills.

    REGISTRATION:

    We encourage racers to register early. We are offering series entry, at a discount, or you can sign up for individual event dates.

    COURSE INFO:

    All races will be located in Forest Hill Park, Richmond, VA.

    Cross course: the lap will be approximately one mile in length using a combination of surfaces that may include grass, blacktop and dirt. What type of bike? We don't care...race your cross, mountain or gravel bike.

    Lapped Rider: If you are lapped you can continue to race, unlike some cyclo cross races. Once the race leader finishes the required number of laps, remaining riders will will be done once they complete their current lap. The event will be scored by number of laps completed, then by time.

    AWARDS:

    There will be series awards after 3rd race. To be eligible for prizes, you must enter and race all three events.

    DISTANCE/TIME:

    All races will be about 45 minutes. Our goal is for the 1st pace overall to race close to 45 minutes. All racers then will finish their current lap once the leader finishes. There will be a countdown lap count at the start/finish. Lapped racers will not be removed from the course! All racers will be able to continue to the finish of the event!

    NUMBER OF LAPS:

    Race organizers will determine numbers of laps based on average time per lap of leaders. Once laps times are established there will be l lap counter counting down the laps. This number will be reduced by 1 each time the leader crosses the line. Note that the number can change by 2 if the leader passes you during any given lap. We will ring a bell for riders to signal "one to go". Historically, the winner completes 11 to 12 laps in the 45 minute window.

    DONATION:

    Donations will go to the local trail working groups (RVA MORE) earmarked to maintain the trails at Forest Hill Park. Please donate a few bucks during registration.

    RAIN OR WET CONDITIONS

    To protect/secure our use of the park, we will postpone or cancel a race in the event of rain or wet conditions. Don't let this prevent you from registering early. We are happy to transfer fees to another runriderace event.

    Course set up

    I will be out at the course by early afternoon. If you are able to come, shoot me an email letting me know you can come and your cell for contact. We will probably need help right up to race start.
