Description

The CATs are excited to partner with Panorama Farms and title sponsor Formula Complete Fitness for the 2nd annual Naked Creek Trail Race.  The inaugural running of NCTR had an unbelievable local turnout. If you’re a seasoned trail runner, this race has the vibe you love! If this is your first trail race, this race has the vibe you’ll soon love! We are super excited to return to the exclusive Panorama Farms, site and 2023 NCAA Cross Country Championship and home cross country course to UVA. Also new to 2024, we are TRAIL SISTER APPROVED!!

Both the 25K and 10K courses will be approximately 90% wooded single track/double track and 10% open cross country/jeep road.  The courses will feature spectacular views of the South Fork Rivanna River Reservoir, Blue Ridge Mountains, and spend miles meandering along (and across!) Naked Creek.  If you don't believe me, check out some of the stunning views you will be treated to on race day here: https://www.panoramafarms.com/gallery. The trails at Panorama Farms are private land and not accessible to the public, so it will be a real treat to experience them on race day!!  Elevation profiles, course maps, and .gpx files of the courses are available on the NCTR Facebook page. The 25K course will feature ~2300 ft of ascent/descent and the 10K course will feature ~1000 ascent/descent. 

As an added bonus, a portion of the proceeds from this race will go back to Panorama Farms and help support their continued efforts to host local high school cross country meets!

Please note there are no refunds, but as a Trail Sister approved race, there is a pregnancy and postpartum exception to that!  If you need a refund for pregnancy or postpartum reason, please email the race contact [email protected]. Lastly, we will be placing our order for race T-shirts and hoodies well in advance of the race. If you sign up for the race after February 6th, we cannot guarantee you will receive a T-shirt.
