NAKED CREEK TRAIL RACE

A BRAND NEW CATs RACE!

 

We are excited to announce the unveiling of a brand new CATs race! Coming March 4th, 2023!

The CATs are excited to partner with Panorama Farms and title sponsor Formula Complete Fitness for the Naked Creek Trail Race.   Both the 25K and 10K courses will be approximately 90% wooded single track and 10% open cross country.  The courses will feature spectacular views of the South Fork Rivanna River Reservoir, Blue Ridge Mountains, and spend miles meandering along (and across!) Naked Creek.  If you don’t believe me, check out some of the stunning views you will be treated to on race day here: https://www.panoramafarms.com/gallery. The trails at Panorama Farms are private land and not accessible to the public, so it will be a real treat to experience them on race day!!

As an added bonus, a portion of the proceeds from this race will go back to Panorama Farms and help support their continued efforts to host local high school cross country meets!

The race will cap at a total of 175 runners.
