Join us for the Pocahontas Trail Fest 10k and Half Marathon on October 6, 2024! Racers can expect a professionally chipped timed race, live results, and custom Pocahontas Trail Fest swag. The race starts for both distances at 9 am.
Located at Pocahontas State Park (10301 State Park Rd, Chesterfield, VA 23832), the staging area will be about 1 1/2 miles straight into the park on State Park Rd. Once past the entrance parking contact station, continue straight to the pool parking lot/boat launch. The start, finish, and staging area will be on the large grass field adjacent to the boat launch, marked by black and orange tents.
The course underwent a redesign in 2020-2021, transitioning from mostly fire roads to a more trail-focused event. With new hiking trails and course adjustments, participants can expect a picturesque experience. The 10k follows a loop course, while the Half Marathon covers a larger loop, with both races overlapping for the first 10k. The revamped course promises scenic views and an enhanced trail race experience, especially on the newly built Coop and Trooper Trails for the last 4+ miles of the Half Marathon.
