Jarmans Invitational Marathon

Crozet, United States • 2 Aug 2025

The Jarmans Invitational Marathon, held annually in Crozet, Virginia, is a challenging 29-mile race featuring a grueling course with 7,610 feet of elevation gain and loss. Runners tackle a steep gravel road, Jarmans Gap, five times, each lap involving a 2.9-mile climb with 1,522 feet of ascent. The course is known for its tough conditions, including heat, potential afternoon thunderstorms, dusty terrain, and minimal scenic views. Aid stations offer limited support, and parking requires shuttling from a nearby community center. With a cap of 65 participants, this informal yet demanding event tests mental and physical endurance, making it a notable challenge for serious runners.
