RICHMOND, Va. – Virginia State Parks’ one-of-a-kind multi-sport race series kicks off on Feb. 15. This year’s Adventure Series, presented by Dominion Energy, consists of 23 races, including triathlons, mountain biking races, adventure races and more. The competitions will be held at 11 different parks across the state.
Long-time Adventure Series participants will notice some exciting changes this year: the return of bonus races, two new Summer Sizzle races with Board Run Off Road and five weekends with Saturday and Sunday races in the same park.
For newcomers, Adventure Series races are designed to be fun and welcoming, making them the perfect way to experience your first race without the pressure of a highly competitive environment. In addition, Virginia State Parks invites families to join the excitement of the Adventure Series, which features a variety of races designed for all ages and skill levels.
Family-friendly races include the Frozen Foot Adventure Race, Tour de Pocahontas, Middle Mountain Momma, Summer Sizzle, Night Train Ultra Marathon, PocaGo! and the High Bridge 5k and 1/2 Marathon.
Adventure Series participants win prizes by earning points in the competition category or the achievement category. These prizes include Virginia State Parks gift cards, cash and REI gift cards.
“The Virginia State Parks Adventure Series is an incredible way to highlight the exciting outdoor challenges our parks offer,” said Promotions Manager Steve Boyd. “From 5ks and trail runs to adventure races and triathlons, this series truly has something for every level of athlete. Come join us for a race weekend you’ll never forget and discover the beauty and adventure waiting in Virginia’s state parks!”
