RACE START TIMES: All race starts at 9am.

Race Venue: Pocahontas State Park 10301 State Park Rd. Chesterfield, VA 23832

The race staging area will be located about 1 1/2 miles straight into the park on State Park Rd. Once you pass the entrance parking contact station, you continue straight, following park signs to the pool parking lot/boat launch about 1 1/2 miles down State Park Rd. Start, finish and staging will be located on the large grass field adjacent to the boat launch. All race activities will be located at the black and orange tents on the field

Parking: The park regular fee is required if you don't have a state park permit. All day parking access is currently $10 per car load on weekends. Although the park accepts cards, cash is the fastest way to move past the contact station.

Race Day pickup: October 5 Sunday 730-9am at the staging area at Pocahontas State Park.

Timing: Your race number will have a timing chip on the back. Please do not fold, remove the chip. Race numbers should be attached so numerals are right side up. Your numbers should be visible during the entire event and placement on your shirt is best as this helps with tagging any photos to your result link. If you mist pin on your shorts it needs to be visible from the front.

Course info:

With the building of some new hiking trails and a redesign of the course we feel we have a great course waiting for you.

The new course has a loop course for the 10k and a larger loop for the1/2 marathon. The races will cover the first 10k together. This newer course will give you more picturesque views and a better trail race experience! The newest built trails, on the 1/2 marathon course, are very runnable with good footing most of the way. You will be finishing your last 4+ miles on these beautiful trail (Coop and Trooper Trails).

On-course aid:

Water stations will be approximately 3, 6 and 9 miles. Best if you carry your own refillable water pack and fuel, as you will be remote much of the race.

Bathrooms: There are two indoor bathrooms available near the start/finish. One is located behind the soda machines (on the right side of the main pool lot) and the other near shelter #2 between the lot and the staging area.

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.

    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.
