Montvale Park is a newly created park in Bedford County.  Just behind the Montvale Elementary School off of HWY 460.  To get to the park's parking lot you will want to turn off of HWY 460 at the Montvale Elementary School.  Take the first right on the gravel road and head down to the baseball field and trail access parking.  Ride into the grassy field and head left into the opening (there is a yellow diamond shaped sign with a black arrow at this spot).  Another spot for trail access is off of Quarterwood Road (across from the BP gas station).  The parking lot will be approximately 1.5 miles on your left.  

Montvale park is a 6.5 mile trail system that winds through old growth forest.   It is a very nice and scenic trail system. 

Parking for the race:  Enter the Montvale Elementary School and take the gravel road, on the right, down the hill to the parking lot and race start.
