We had 11 amazing events and it’s time to move forward to other adventures.The certified marathon course is still active for one more year! If you’re interested in taking over the race please contact us!
The Rivanna Greenbelt Marathon is officially certified by the USATF (VA14004TR) and a Boston Qualifier. The course is 6.5 "loops" of the fairly flat 4-mile out-and-back trail beginning at Riverview Park and following along the river on the Rivanna Greenbelt Trail.
The Rivanna Greenbelt Half Marathon course is 3.25 "loops" of the fairly flat 4-mile out-and-back trail beginning at Riverview Park and following along the river on the Rivanna Greenbelt Trail. Please note this is a public trail that can be accessed by others during the race.
Water stops are located at the start/finish and 2 mile turnaround.
All runners receive official timing splits every 2 miles by Blue Ridge Timing, a uniquely handmade miniature Coney (our race mascot), and a long-sleeve shirt. Please review the FAQ for details about this quirky and unique race.
All runners must complete the course in under 5 hours to receive official results, no exceptions.
