Event summary
Get ready for an unforgettable day of adventure at the Bivanna Trail Extravaganza on Saturday, October 18, 2025, in the scenic city of Charlottesville! This exhilarating event features an impressive 40-mile challenge along the Rivanna Trail loop, allowing participants to choose their own adventure. Whether you're up for the full two loops, a single loop, or even a half loop, there's something for everyone! For those who prefer wheels over feet, biking two loops is also an option.
The fun kicks off promptly at 8:00 am from the Riverview Park trailhead, with a generous 10-hour cutoff to complete your journey. Expect two well-stocked aid stations along the way, providing water, Gatorade, and essential first aid supplies to keep you fueled and motivated. Remember, this is a fun run/ride, not a race, so enjoy the camaraderie and celebrate your achievement with fellow participants. Each finisher will be recognized in a digital publication, and if you’d like to share your progress through a .gpx file or Strava/Garmin link, we’d love to include it in your results! Don’t forget to sign your liability waiver when you arrive, and prepare for an exciting day

Organiser's Description
It's the Rivanna Trail loop twice: a warm-up loop and then the main act!
If for some bizarre reason 40 miles on foot is unappealing to you, come run one loop, half of a loop, or bike two loops!
* We will start promptly at 8:00 am. There will be a 10-hour cutoff -- if you haven't finished by 5:00 pm, you will be considered a DNF.
* The event will depart clockwise from the Riverview Park trailhead to start. There will be two aid stations (locations TBD) with water, gatorade, and limited first aid supplies.
* For the full two-loop run/ride, the second loop will be run/ridden in the _opposite_ direction of the first.
* This is a fun run/ride, not a race. All finishers will be recognized via digital publication on the results page! We will operate on an honor system regarding finishers, but if you would like to send a .gpx file or link to your Strava/Garmin file so that we can include it as part of your result, we would happily do so!
* There will be a brief announcement 15 minutes before the start of the event.
* YOU MUST SIGN A LIABILITY WAIVER BEFORE PARTICIPATING IN BIVANNA. We will provide printed copies of waivers at the event start.
