Fall Foliage Adventure Race 2026

The Fall Foliage Adventure Race takes teams and solo racers around Jamestown, Virginia, during the cooler fall season, incorporating biking, trekking, and paddling. Racers can select either a 5-hour or a 24-hour duration, accommodating both novice participants and those seeking an extended overnight challenge. The shorter race features biking, canoe or kayak paddling, and trekking, with beginner-friendly cycling on gravel and paved paths. The longer race is designed for experienced adventure racers, extending through the night until the following morning. Its course crosses several parks, conservancies, and historic locations near Jamestown, the site of North America's first permanent English settlement. The event emphasizes more than just speed; previous participants have noted it as “the perfect mix of thinking and movement,” reflecting an adventure race where navigation and strategic route selection are as critical as physical exertion.
