Lynchburg UltraFest
Lynchburg UltraFest is a 24 hour ultra event held in Riverside Park in Lynchburg, Virginia. The event centers on a single paved loop measuring 0.84 miles inside the park, with each lap starting and finishing at the same location near a gazebo and a caboose. The format emphasizes repetition within one contained space rather than point-to-point routing.
The published primary race distance is 100 Miles. Entrants may compete solo or as part of a team, sharing the same looped course and support area. The event is described as the first of its kind in Lynchburg and is organized around simplicity: one loop, one space, consistent lap logistics.
The course surface is paved and located inside a city park setting. Participants continuously pass the same aid and staging area each lap, which removes the need for complex logistics associated with point-to-point races. The event runs across two calendar days and uses the park loop to create a timed endurance experience focused on sustained effort and repeated laps.
