The two events combined are limited to 240 runners total. Entry for 2025 is on a first-come, first-served basis.

You must be at least 18 years old on race day to enter. There is one exception to this rule: If you will be at least 16 years old on the day of the race, you may enter if you are on a mother-daughter team.

How You Pay

All registration is online via RunReg. You are not required to set up an account; you can check out as a guest.

Transfers / Changing Race Distances

Entry is not transferable to other runners. You may change the distance you are running via RunReg through August 18. If you had registered for the 10k+ and change to the half-marathon, you will be charged for the difference in price and will be prompted to check out again. If you had registered for the half-marathon and change to the 10k+, you will not receive a refund for the $10 price differential.

Refunds

The Virginia Happy Trails Running Club is a nonprofit organization and we don’t want to take money from you if you’re not getting something from us. We are pleased to offer full refunds (minus RunReg transaction fees) if you can’t run. The deadline to withdraw and get a refund is August 19. Should you need to withdraw from the race, contact the race director.

Pregnancy and Postpartum Policy

If you need to withdraw from the race after the refund deadline because of pregnancy, no worries. You are eligible for a full refund, minus RunReg transaction fees. Please contact the race director.
