Shenandoah River Adventure Race — 5 & 12 Hour Challenges
Seventh Annual Edition — Shenandoah River State Park, Virginia
The Shenandoah River Adventure Race returns for its eighth exhilarating year on Saturday, August 22nd, 2026, set amid the scenic beauty of Shenandoah River State Park in Bentonville, Virginia. This iconic adventure race blends river paddling, mountain biking, and off-trail trekking into an unforgettable test of strategy, endurance, and outdoor skill for both individual racers and teams.
Race Overview
Both the 12-hour and 5-hour formats take place along the scenic Shenandoah River and surrounding state park, offering competitors a variety of terrain and challenges that reward smart navigation and efficient pacing. The race is part of the Virginia State Parks Adventure Series, with electronic scoring and pre-plotted maps to maximize racer experience and results tracking.
Racers are treated to:
River paddling on Class I-II whitewater sections of the Shenandoah River
Single-track mountain biking on quality trails with flow, climbs and descents
Trekking/navigation through wooded terrain with multiple route options
Electronic “e-punch” scoring for fast, accurate results
Awards, plaques, and swag for standout performances
Hot Food Post Race (Pizza, Sodas, Snacks) w/ Firepit Social at Night
12-Hour Adventure Race — Advanced Endurance and Strategy
The 12-hour race is designed to push competitors’ limits without breaking them. Ideal for seasoned adventure racers and those looking to step up to longer formats, this race challenges competitors to earn as many points as possible in the allotted 12 hours. With multiple route options and strategic checkpoints across paddling, biking, and trekking legs, success comes down to smart route planning and consistent pace.
Highlights:
Extended mountain biking sections with rewarding climbs and flowy trail descents
A scenic paddle stretch along the Shenandoah River
Pre-plotted maps for all disciplines so racers spend less time planning and more time racing
Solo and team entry options (up to 4-person teams)
This race is perfect for competitors targeting advanced adventure racing experiences and those looking to build toward longer multi-day or 24-hour events.
5-Hour Adventure Race — Stepping Into Adventure Racing
The 5-hour race is crafted for racers at the beginner to intermediate level who want a rich adventure racing experience. With a course covering an estimated 20–40 miles of combined paddling, trekking, and mountain biking, this format provides a balanced challenge that introduces racers to key adventure racing skills in navigation and endurance.
Typical Race Breakdown:
~3 miles of paddling on the scenic Shenandoah River
4–6+ miles of trekking, featuring creative route choices through varied terrain
8+ miles of mountain biking on quality single-track trails
Pre-plotted maps and multiple route options to enhance navigation strategy
This format is an excellent entry point for racers new to the sport — offering enough challenge to grow skills, while still being accessible. Transition areas allow racers to resupply and reorient throughout the event.
Race Experience & Community
Both race formats take place in one of Virginia’s most scenic outdoor settings, with gentle river views framed by the foothills of the Shenandoah Mountains. Competitors often stay at Low Water Bridge Campground or nearby park cabins, making race weekend an immersive outdoor adventure full of camaraderie and unforgettable landscapes.
Whether you’re chasing a personal best, stepping up into your first adventure race, or seeking a strategic day of multi-discipline racing with friends and teammates, the Shenandoah River Adventure Race delivers a richly rewarding challenge in a truly iconic natural setting.

The North East Triathlon is an amazing race in a beautiful location. Just minutes from I-95, a Chesapeake Bay time trial swim and well paved country roads along Elk Neck State Forest make this a great race. The course is low traffic, hilly and technical in places, but has plenty of straightaways and beautiful views. The run course is a lightly rolling, out and back course on the shoulder heading south of town. This Chesapeake Bay waterfront town is worth a weekend away, there are plenty of boats, parks, restaurants and roads to explore.
We know you will love this race, watch our race video to learn more.

This course was a hit last year, and we hope you’ll come join us this year to experience the beauty of Lake Artemesia! Race on a paved trail through the woods, around the outside of a runway, over creeks, and finally around the outskirts of Lake Artemesia. You never know what you’ll spot on this course!
The Motts 8 Miler is the fourth race in the FXBG Trail Series. Get ready for a course that keeps you on your toes from start to finish. This trail race winds and weaves through constant twists and turns, demanding focus and rewarding quick feet. The singletrack flows in and out of the trees, with direction changes that keep every mile engaging and unpredictable.
Rolling hills define the rhythm of the day — short ups and downs that challenge your pacing and test your leg strength without ever feeling overwhelming. Just when you think you’ve settled in, the course reminds you to stay honest with another punchy rise or sweeping descent.
There’s one standout climb that anchors the course — the big effort of the day. It’s steady, sustained, and designed to make you work. Conquer it, and you’ll carry that momentum through the final winding miles, where the rollers continue to keep things lively all the way to the finish.
This is a race for runners who love movement, momentum, and a trail that never lets you switch to autopilot.

Please respect all parking instructions, posted signage, and volunteer direction. Our ability to continue using these facilities depends on participants parking only in approved areas and leaving the facilities clean and undamaged.
LICENSING: USAC Road rules apply. A racing license is required to enter; please provide your USAC license # when registering online, and be prepared to show your license at check-in. Unlicensed riders may race only in categories that are open to Novice (Cat. 5) riders, and will be charged an additional $15 in their BikeReg shopping cart for a 1-Day license.
ENTRY FEES: The entry fee for Juniors (Racing Age 9-18) is $20.00 for all races they are eligible to enter. The entry fee for all other riders is $50.00 for the first race and $25.00 for additional races. Note that the multi-entry discount is applied automatically only when the entries are purchased in the same BikeReg shopping cart; otherwise use the 'Contact Us' link below to request a partial refund for the second race. For second entries purchased on race day, inquire at the day-of registration table for a coupon code to receive the discount at checkout. BikeReg assesses a service charge for each entry purchased. A surcharge of $10.00 will be assessed for adult riders purchasing their first entry on race day; for Junior riders the surcharge will be $5.00. Entry fees are non-refundable.
RACE DAY REGISTRATION & CHECK-IN: Race-day registration and rider check-in will be located near the start/finish area. Riders must check in and collect their race numbers prior to competing. Check-in will open at least 1 hour prior to the start of the first scheduled race and will close 20 minutes prior to the scheduled start time of each race.
Please arrive early to allow sufficient time for parking, check-in, number pickup, and course familiarization.
Entry fees will be collected only through BikeReg. There will be no in-person sales at the event. Riders who pre-register by the Thursday 8:30 AM closing of pre-registration will have pre-assigned bibs, and will receive email notification of their bib numbers prior to race day; riders who register after the page re-opens will be assigned bibs at the event. If you are pre-registered, please memorize your bib number; if you have a USA Cycling Annual license, please pull the license up on your phone before you get in line to check in.
PRO TIP #1: don't wait until you go to register (or worse, until race day) to renew your USAC racing license, as it can take a couple of days for the renewal to propagate through the USAC system before BikeReg (and we!) can see it.
PRO TIP #2: hands-down, the best way to always have your USAC racing license on-hand is to add it to your Google or Apple wallet. Login to your USAC account to get started.
If you miss the closing of pre-registration, you must complete the registration process on BikeReg when the page re-opens, then wait to receive your confirmation email before getting in line to check in at the event. Present your confirmation, along with your USA Cycling racing license (or if you are racing on a 1-Day license, your BikeReg receipt), and we will issue your bib. Registration will be open for each category until 20 minutes prior to the scheduled start of the race. Don't be “that guy/gal” – plan ahead and arrive timely!
START TIMES: All race start times are estimates and may be adjusted based on race-day conditions, field sizes, or unforeseen circumstances. Participants should listen for announcements and remain near the staging area prior to their scheduled events.
WEATHER: The event will be held rain or shine. Race officials reserve the right to modify, shorten, delay, or cancel races if conditions are determined to be unsafe.
COMBINED CATEGORY RACES will race together as one field, and will be uploaded to USA Cycling and road-results as a single field, but will be scored separately for podiums and prize lists. The Junior fields will start separately by 2 age groups, and will be scored separately. The Masters 45+ field will start 1 minute ahead of the Masters 55+/65+ field, and each age group will be scored separately for podiums and prize lists.
SPECTATORS: Spectators are encouraged to attend and enjoy the racing from designated viewing areas around the course. Please remain clear of the race roadway and follow all instructions from race officials and volunteers.
COMMUNITY PARTNERS: We would like to thank Alexandria City High School, First Baptist Church of Alexandria, the City of Alexandria, our volunteers, sponsors and local cycling community for helping make this event possible.
