1 Miles 5k Run Walk

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.

    8:00 am (7:15 am early start). Half marathon and 5K through and around beautiful Burkes Garden, VA continues to be one of the most elite races in Southwest Virginia. Beautiful countryside with rolling hills. Race Director Charity Hurst founded the race in 1992. The event brings runners from far away for the beautiful course, and of course, the sheep!

    The 2026 Bridge & Trestle 17 Mile Run will be held on Saturday, December 13th. The run will be entirely on the Virginia Creeper Trail, the exact course will be determined a bit closer to the race date, but hopefully we’ll be back in Damascus!!

    Race day packet pickup will begin at 8:30AM and the race will start at 10:00AM. To continue our effort in keeping our beautiful trail clean and free of any trash, we're going cup-less again this year. To help with this effort, we will have easy to carry, collapsible cups at packet pickup. You will be able to use one of these cups (or your own hydration system) during the race at our aid stations. We will have hot beverages and snacks available at the finish.

    This is a FREE run hosted by the State of Franklin Track Club and is part of the Club’s Trail Series and Long Distance Series competitions. Come out and join your fellow runners on this beautiful trail. Please note that traditional awards are not given at this race, but ... the overall male and female, the person who finishes in the middle of the pack, and the final finisher will receive a handmade memento. This year it will be zippered shoe bags with the State of Franklin Track Club logo.
