US Road Running
The race consists of three stages along, and in, the New River. The trail is flat with a crushed cinder surface, and the river flows smoothly with small rapids under normal conditions. The race begins with a 40-mile out and back bike leg, followed by a 12.1-mile downriver kayak paddle, and ends with a half marathon run along the river for a total of 65.2 miles. Although the race is long, it's perfect for beginners and accomplished athletes due to its flattish nature.
Participants may compete solo or in teams of two or three.
We ask that you thoroughly read the rules and guidelines (PDF) before the race. They cover stage meeting times, transitions, requirements, courses, water and aid stations, and recommendations to make your race as trouble-free as possible. If you have any questions, please post them on the Facebook page — the New River Trail family is a friendly group, and someone from Virginia State Parks or the community will be happy to provide answers. You can also contact Steve Boyd with questions.
The race is limited to 300 entrants, so register early to ensure a spot. Solo competitors and teams with at least two students or faculty members from the same university qualify for a collegiate discount registration fee. In addition to their registered categories, sponsors' teams compete for a special award and bragging rights.

COURSE MAP
The Pulaski MTN-X is a new multi-surface event held in Pulaski County, Virginia. We will have three different distances--a 105 mile long course with over 12,000 feet of climbing, a 52 mile middle-distance course with just under 6000 feet of climbing, and a non-competitive 31 mile course. All of these rides will be about 65% gravel and 35% asphalt, although some asphalt sections will be backcountry, narrow rough roads.
This will be a “timed sectors" event, which means that you won't be racing from the start gun to the finish line. There will be timed segments throughout the course, and those are the race sectors. Your times from each of the segments will be added together for your finishing time on which you will be ranked. This format allows two things--foremost it allows for a safe event where riders won't be racing through stop signs and intersections. All of our timed sectors will be on stretches of road where the rider will have the right-of-way so that no rules of the road need to be broken to race. Secondly, it means that we can place our aid stations outside of these timed segments, so that there is no rush in filling up bottles and grabbing some snacks--those aid stations will be in untimed areas so you can wait for your friends and know that the clock is not ticking. We think you will love this format, and it also makes for a less lonely day on the bike.
All entry fees include a post-ride meal with a beverage and a t-shirt.
Be sure to plan on coming on Friday afternoon and join us for our shake out ride on the New River Trail along with an expo and festivities at the brewery!

Greetings! The 10th Annual Chad Lovette Memorial Trail Run Hosted by numerous friends and family will be held on 9/27/2025 at Cub Creek Park in Wilkesboro, NC!
For our 10th year, we will be featuring RaceResult chip timing to improve timing accuracy and facilitate near-live results posting. Signs with race-specific QR codes will be posted near the start/finish line so you can scan them with your mobile device to access results. As a result of this upgrade, your race bib will include two RFID tags affixed to the back of the bib. Please take care not to fold or crinkle the tagged bib as this can damage the RFID tags and potentially cause you to be missed by the timer’s HF readers.
Afterparty plans are to be announced later.
We look forward to welcoming newcomers and past participants for this fun trail run. Also available -- the virtual fun run/walk option for those that are not able to make it in person (but who really want that T-shirt!) Proceeds go to the American Cancer Society, specifically The Steel Magnolia's Battle/Necessary Relay for Life Team.
A donation of $150 or more gets your name on the back of the race T-shirt and two free T's. Please reach out to [email protected] for more info.
We now have Facebook and Instagram pages (@ChadLovetteMemorialTrailRun) and hope that you will follow us tag us in a photo or video when completing your run/walk. Interested in being a race sponsor?
NOTE:
Registration: Registration will be available on-line through September 26 at noon. Day of race registration will be available, but no T-shirts will be available for registrations after September 14. The Virtual Trail Run/Walk will be active through October 4th to allow the donation portal to remain open.
More about our beloved Chad Lovette and the inspiration for this run: Chad was a native of Wilkes County and passed away on July 9, 2016 after an extended battle with brain cancer. Chad was a graduate of Wilkes Central High School and the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. He was a singer/songwriter and most enjoyed playing music with his brother, Shay, and with his band, Green House.. His passions were traveling far and wide, hiking, surfing, camping, and living large with his family and friends. This race is in honor of Chad's love for life, the outdoors, music, and fellowship. Join us!

Maddie’s Miles 5K
Still in the Game
Join us for this year’s Maddie’s Miles 5K Memorial Run/Walk in memory of Madison “Maddie” Marini
Every year, the theme for Maddie’s Miles reflects something Maddie loved. This year’s theme, “Still in the Game”, honors her love for sports. Maddie loved playing them, watching them, and cheering on her favorite teams. The excitement, teamwork, and heart that come with sports were a big part of who she was.
But this theme also carries a deeper meaning. In the face of addiction, loss, and recovery, we are reminded that hope, love, and community are still in the game. Every step taken at Maddie’s Miles represents a commitment to keep fighting, to support those struggling with addiction, and to honor the lives that continue to inspire us.
Together, we run for Maddie, for those we’ve lost, for those in recovery, and for the belief that no one should ever feel like they are out of the game.
We're thrilled to welcome back Ruff Love Rescue https://www.ruffloverescue.com/ A rescue organization that was close to Maddie's heart. They'll be set up at the event— and bringing adoptable dogs who would love to join you on the course!
Maddie's Miles 5k Run/Walk event is at Jamison Park in Winston-Salem. This run will be held on an out and back course on Muddy Creek Greenway. There will be auction items, prizes, & food!

WHY WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT
Each year over 100,000 people die from drug overdoses in the US. This staggering number includes deaths from opioids, synthetic opioids, and other substances. Each death, is someone's child, mother, father, aunt, uncle, friend, etc. Efforts to combat this crisis include increased funding for treatment and prevention, as well as harm reduction strategies such as the distribution of naloxone, a medication that can reverse opioid overdoses. Despite this, the number of overdose deaths remains alarmingly high, highlighting the need for comprehensive and sustained efforts to address the root causes of addiction (CDC Blogs).
MADDIE
My amazing, intelligent, talented and beautiful daughter Madison “Maddie” Marini, struggled with addiction for many years. Limited resources, financial obstacles and the undeniable Stigma that still exists today, made her road to recovery not possible. Maddie had hopes and dreams of attending college and becoming a forensic anthropologist. She was nicknamed "Bones" after her favorite TV show character, who played a forensic anthropologist. Maddie was always so intrigued by the thought of being able to find out what might have happened to people, so that she would be able to give families answers and closure about their loved ones. Never did I ever imagine, I would be the one needing answers and closure. When Maddie walked into a room, you might not have known who she was, but you never forgot her. She had the most vibrant personality that commanded the entire room.
Tragically, on December 29th, 2016, at the very young age of 22, Maddie lost her battle with addiction and died from an accidental overdose. There are truly no words that can describe the immense pain in my heart and the ache I carry every each day, from missing and wanting her back so badly.
WHERE THE MONEY GOES
Proceeds from the Maddie's Miles event support Phoenix Rising of Winston Salem, Inc., a non-profit dedicated to combating addiction through local drug court support. Funds also aid other local non-profits, aiming to prevent further lives from being lost to addiction and accidental overdoses. Visit https://phoenixrisingwinstonsalem.org/
