Forever 5 & 10 Milers
The 6th Forever 5 & 10 Mile Trail Races take place on 1/30/2027 at the Day Creek Day Use area on the Glenwood Horse Trail. The event offers two distances:
- 5 miles
- 10 miles
Registration includes tiered fees for each distance and a virtual option. The virtual entry is $25 for both the 5 and 10 milers, counts as a Roanoke Non Ultra Trail Series (RNUTS) qualifying race, and includes a New Design Hoo-Rag if registered by 1/6/27. The in-person field is capped at 200 runners because of limited parking.
Both courses are out and back and use the Forever Section of the Hellgate 100k course (miles 55 to 60). This is a rocky section of the Glenwood Horse Trail between Day Creek Day Use area and Bobblett Gap Road. The 5 mile course includes a volunteer or timing point at the halfway mark. The 10 mile course has a timing point at Bobblett Gap Road to verify the turnaround.
Packet pickup is scheduled on the two days before the event at local partners, with registration and packet pickup also available at Day Creek on race morning. Parking at the day use area is limited, so carpooling is recommended.
Awards are given to the top three male and female overall finishers and first place masters, plus top three in 13 standard age groups for both sexes. Dogs are not permitted and participants must follow marked trails and race directions. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
