New River Trail Races
Fries, United States • 11 Apr 2026
New River Trail Races take place in Fries, Virginia, along the 100% dirt, flat New River Trail in New River Trail State Park. The event features four distances: 100k, 50k, 25k, and New River Trail 10k, all run as out-and-back courses along the river and Chestnut Creek. The race emphasizes cupless running with stocked aid stations and no disposable cups, and runners must carry a water bottle.
Drop bags are available for 50k and 100k; 100k finishers receive a buckle. An early start is offered for 25k and 50k, and shirts may not be guaranteed if registered late. The atmosphere is rugged, scenic trail ultrarunning. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
