PART OF THE VIRGINIA STATE PARK'S ADVENTURE SERIES
Presented by Appalachian Power
ADDING More excitement to racing in the Virginia State Parks!!
Virginia State Parks (VSP) and Appalachian Power have created a fun and exciting series combining 11 weekends of wildly different outdoor races held in state parks. Events vary from a 5K run to a 65.2-mile triathlon and include adventure races, mountain bike and cyclocross races, sprint triathlons, a 13-mile kayak run, half marathons and everything in between. Unlike most racing series, winners are decided by total points accumulated during the series. Points for each race or leg of a race are based on mileage and difficulty of each race. READ MORE....
