Get ready for an exhilarating weekend of trail running at the RRRC Bear Creek 10 Mile & Mini Trail Runs, taking place from February 21 to February 23, 2026, in the stunning Cumberland, Virginia. This event highlights the main attraction, the challenging 10-mile loop course that weaves through the picturesque Piedmont Hills of Cumberland State Forest and the beautiful Bear Creek Lake State Park.

Plus, there’s a virtual race option for those who prefer to join from afar! Each registration fee contributes to the Friends of Bear Creek Lake State Park, supporting local volunteers dedicated to preserving this gorgeous area. Don’t miss out on the chance to immerse yourself in nature and enjoy a rewarding running experience in a beautiful setting!
