Conquer the long, sunny days and join the
Cap Trail Summer Challenge!Choose a distance goal and run, walk, bike, skate, handcycle, or dance your way on the Virginia Capital Trail to an awesome and active summer! You can...
- Aim to complete all 51.7 miles of the Virginia Capital Trail. Whether all at once or a mile at a time, this Challenge is about passing each and every mileage post on the Virginia Capital Trail.
- Double down for 103.4 miles. You still need to pass every mile post on the VCT, but the other miles can be completed wherever you like! Of course you can keep it all on our wonderful Trail (not that we're biased or anything).
- Go for 413.6 miles. Random number? Not at all! In honor of the Cap Trail's upcoming 8th birthday, this is 8 times the length of the Trail. Again, aside from passing every mile post at least once, where you log the rest of these miles is up to you.
While you do need to complete all of the Virginia Capital Trail in its entirety (passing each mile post at least once) for each Challenge, this will be on the honor system. But why
wouldn't you want to see the whole Trail?
Complete your miles between May 25th and September 9th, submitting your results on your RunSignUp profile (result submission will stay open for 48 hours after the challenge ends).
There will be a $5 price bump on July 16th and September 4th is the last day to register. Those who
complete their Summer Challenge by September 9th will receive a finisher's shirt indicated the number of miles they conquered! Registration is now open for only $25. The challenge season starts Saturday. Go to:
