The James River Scramble is a trail event of approximately 10k that emphasizes trail terrain over pavement. The course may include roots, gravel, rough surfaces, and low hanging branches. The route starts on the south side of the river and finishes on the north side in the Dominion Energy Flat Lot. Course maps are approximate and the route is subject to change.
Water stops are provided on course but are self serve and cup less, so participants must bring their own hydration device. The event uses wave starts to manage trail volume; participants are asked to line up by predicted pace per mile. Organizers state this is not intended for walkers.
