About the race

This park is one of Bedford’s little known treasures.  I was first introduced to the park during one of the Virginia Derailer mountain bike races.  Since then I have been amazed at how the park continually changes.  It is a family park, with a playground, pavilions, paved path, Frisbee golf, fitness circuit, shuffle board, bird watching trails, mountain bike trails, and pump track (get maps and trail info at Bedford Trails).

It is loaded with over 9 miles of intermediate rolling, twisty, single track in a beautiful wooded setting.  It isn’t uncommon to see wildlife during one of your trips to the park (turtles, raccoons, rabbits, ground hogs, the occasional skunk, and deer).

Course Description

The 10k will be one lap on the park’s rolling single track trails with water stations at the 3.2 mile and 5.36 mile mark.  The half marathon will do the 10k course and then continue on, on a longer and slightly different 7 mile loop.  The race is 90% trail, 9%  grassy fields, and 1% gravel road.

Race Age Groups:  11 male and female age groups. with medals given to the top 3 in each age group.  The top 3 male and female winners of each race will receive unique awards.

Age brackets for the races include, for both male and female: 14 and under; 15-19; 20-24; 25-29; 30-34; 35-39; 40-44; 45-49; 50-54; 55-59; 60 & up.
