Register is OPEN! https://runsignup.com/Race/VA/NorthGarden/WalnutCreekWe are BEYOND excited to announce the second of two additional trail races that the CATs are hosting this winter: THE Walnut Creek 5 and Dime! After you've knocked the December rust off and tuned up the ticker at the Burke Creek Barn Burner races, come on out and test your mettle against the rocks, roots and hills on the gorgeous trails at Walnut Creek Park!
The Walnut Creek 5 and Dime races will take place on Saturday, February 8, 2025 at Walnut Creek Park.
We've handpicked some of the gnarliest sections of trail to offer a sweet and fast 5k along with a challenging, sassy 10 mile distance that'll make you question your leisure-time choices! The 5k takes you across the dam at the southern end of the lake, a figure-8 of the Blue Wheel Loop, back out and across the dam for a jaunt up Just Climb It where you'll cross the entrance road to link up with the Jungle Trail to coast into the finish! The 10 miler takes you on the same course as the 5k, but continues on Just Climb It all the way up to the Gatehouse at the entrance, where you'll cross the entrance road, proceed onto Bike Factory Trail, link up to the red perimeter trail all the way back to the north end of the lake, cross the road to run the reverse of Just Climb It and back down with and out and back across the dam to spit you back up to the parking lot and finish line at Shelter #2!
Shelter #2 will serve as our race day base of operations where we'll have hot drinks and other munchy refreshments pre/post race!
Come on out, join us, and "get you some nickel and dime" on these fabulous trails at Walnut Creek! Be sure and bring a healthy dose of attitude to get you around the course of choice, a warm change of clothes, warm hat and some dry shoes for relaxing and basking in the post-race glory, and a boat-load of enthusiasm to cheer on all the finishers!
