9:00 am. Join us for a fun, meaningful race starting at the historic Richlands Railroad Forman’s Section House! Sponsored by Clinch Valley Health, this unique event invites runners and walkers of all ages to dash through a giant colon—a creative and eye-catching way to raise awareness about the rising rates of colon cancer and digestive diseases, even among younger people. All donations benefit the Clinch Valley Auxiliary, supporting local health and wellness initiatives. Come out, get moving, laugh a little, and help promote prevention, early detection, and healthier lives in our community.

    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. Awards are presented to the top finisher, male and female and to the top (1) finisher in the following age groups, male and female: 29-under, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70-79, 80+.

    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. The race is run on the Virginia Creeper Trail, a former railroad bed. The Trail is flat to gentle grade, with a soft running surface (plus the occasional wooden trestle). The course is two out-and-back segments on the Trail. The first turnaround is approximately 1 mile south of the Alvarado Station Trailhead, the second turnaround is approximately .1 miles south of the Abingdon Trailhead, and the third turnaround is at the Watauga Trailhead. 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.

    The course is USATF Certified and meets all requirements for Boston Marathon Qualifiers
