We have a drop system organized where you can arrange to have supplies (lights, gear, food, etc.) left at the aid stations. You

They must be labeled with race number and are to be dropped off no later than 1 hour before the event start. They cannot be picked up again until the evening at the end of the race. If you are unable to pick up your supplies, we can mail them back to you for $30. We are not responsible for any lost, stolen or missing drop bags. AID STATIONS: The aid stations' high spirits will keep you rolling and having fun all day. When stopping at a station please do not drop your bike in the road, either keep it between your legs or walk it to the side of the road and so it isn't in the way of other Forest users. We are in a tough spot with spectators - we can't have them at the Campground or out on the course - there
just isn't physically room to park extra cars. But we need some volunteers. So if you have family that "MUST ATTEND" we can put them to use as a volunteer. We have some great volunteer spots that could use their help. THIS YEAR MORE THEN EVER non racers MUST volunteer.

Greetings, Four Miler friends!
The 43rd annual Charlottesville Women's Four Miler will be held at Foxfield on Saturday, August 30th, 2025. This much-loved community event began in 1983 and, since then, has grown to become the largest women's-only race in Virginia while raising over 4.2 million dollars for the UVA Breast Care Center. We hope you will join in this fun, challenging, and deeply meaningful local tradition. Run or walk the beautiful countryside course, or participate virtually from anywhere.
All proceeds from registration fees go directly to the UVA Breast Care Center and we strongly encourage you to fundraise beyond this.
A special thanks for Foxfield for all the amazing support over all the years, and to the hundreds of local sponsors and volunteers who make this event possible. We would like to acknowledge the Charlottesville Track Club (CTC) for their years of support for this and many other local, not-for-profit events. Please consider becoming a member of the CTC here and follow their website and social media to stay current on upcoming events!
VIRTUAL OPTION: We understand it if you can’t make it to Foxfield, especially if you're traveling for the Labor Day holiday or live out of town. We’d still love to have you be a part of this special fundraising event, so please feel free to run or walk a four-mile course of your choosing close to home.

The Odyssey Trail Running Rampage will bring in Fall with four great trail running races: the 50K Ultra, the Marathon, the Half Marathon, and the Six-Miler. These trail races will give athletes the opportunity to run on some of the best trails in the Southeast at a gorgeous state park nestled in the mountains of Virginia, Douthat State Park. Get together with family and friends this weekend at Douthat State Park to enjoy hiking, mountain biking, paddling, fishing, and relaxing.
We are excited to be are part of the Virginia State Park Adventure Series were athletes can compete at different events at Virginia State Parks to earn points to win prizes at the end of the year.
The 50K Ultra, the Marathon, the Half Marathon, race courses will be a loop format offering challenging uphills, fast downhills and beautiful views at multiple points on the trail. Racers will run along creeks with waterfalls and through Rhododendron-covered tunnels engulfing the trails. The loop will have a total elevation gain of 2700 feet over 13 miles, the majority of which will be gained in the first three miles.
The 50K Ultra will entail 3 loops ((Two) Half Marathon loops + (One) 6 mile loop); the Marathon 2 loops; and the Half Marathon 1 loop. There will be 1 aid station on top of the mountain, at the cabin overlook, at mile 3.5 with water only and 2 fully stocked aid stations at miles 9(mile 1 for the Six Miler) and 11.25 (mile 3.5 for the Six Miler) of each loop. They will have HEED water, flat cola, potatoes and salt, banana halves, and pretzels at each station. Ultra and Marathon runners will be able to stage supplies at the finish of the loop.
The Six Mile Trail race will be a single loop with a few challenging uphills, but mostly rolling terrain. This loop will have over 1000 feet of elevation gain. This race will incorporate the last five miles of the other three events' loop with the addition of the Tobacco Hollow Ridge Trail at the start. The loops for all the events are a little long by 0.3 +/- miles (more plus). There will be no extra charge for the bonus miles!
Why the loop format? The loop preserves a little piece of history. The half marathon loop was designed as part of the Odyssey Off-Road Iron – Distance Triathlon, in which competitors capped off 2.4 miles of swimming and 112 miles of biking with the trail marathon of two 13.1 mile loops. Numerous requests for the option to skip the swim and bike and to “just” run the loop led to creation of the Trail Running Rampage events.
