Both courses are US Track & Field certified, with distinct numbers for the 10K and 5K, important for runners prioritizing accurate distance measurement.

The listed distances are 5 km, 10 km, 21.1 km, and 42.2 km, suitable for both casual runners and those seeking a long fall race.
Powhatan Pursuit 5k, 10k & Half
Powhatan Pursuit is a trail race within Powhatan State Park, west of Richmond, Virginia, offering half marathon, 10K, 5K, and virtual options. The in-person races cater to runners seeking dirt, pavement, rolling hills, and woods over a straightforward road course.

All three distances incorporate a blend of wooded trails and paved park sections. The 10K consists of two loops on a shorter route, while the half marathon also uses two loops to cover 13.1 miles. Aid stations are positioned approximately every two miles, with an early-start option for half marathoners requiring additional time. Race-day registration is permitted, and the event supports Operation Turbo, an organization that sends home care packages.

The event takes place in November and benefits Olde Towne Medical & Dental Center, which also handles packet pickup prior to race day.
Both certified courses begin and end at the JCC Government Center, following a paved path that goes by Kingsmill and Busch Gardens. The 10K run is part of the Colonial Road Runners Grand Prix, attracting local club runners as well as walkers, families, and those opting for the hike or kids' run.

Gobbler 5K & 10K at Midlothian, VA (46)
Lake Anna Turkey Trot 5k, 10k, & Half
The Lake Anna Turkey Trot takes place on Thanksgiving weekend at Lake Anna State Park in Spotsylvania Courthouse, Virginia. Participants can select a 5K trail run, a 10K, or a half marathon. Walkers are also accommodated. The event is structured more like a holiday park gathering than a typical single-distance road race, offering both in-person participation and virtual options for those joining remotely.
The 10K and half marathon courses divide their mileage equally between trail and paved road, meaning the longer distances are not exclusively on pavement. Entrants to the state park will need either a park pass or to pay a separate entrance fee, a detail to consider before race day. Registration pricing increases as the event date approaches. Virtual entries are available in various packages, with options to include or exclude a medal and shirt.

Richmond hosts 26 10K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.
Richmond runners build weeks around the James River Park System. Buttermilk Trail and North Bank Trail keep your brain engaged because the footing demands it.

Virginia Capital Trail runs 52 paved miles from Shockoe Bottom to Jamestown Settlement. MIDLO MAFIA, Fan Foxes, RVA Rogue Runners, Richmond Trail Runners, Black Girls Run, and Deep Run parkrun keep the calendar full. Virginia Credit Union River City Half & River City 5k and Richmond Turkey Trot 5K anchor the year.
Richmond riders get base miles from the Virginia Capital Trail, Reedy Creek, Belle Isle, Pony Pasture, and the roads beyond the river. RABA puts at least one organized ride on the calendar every day of the year. Goochland and Hanover have a lot of rolling miles. adds fun downhill/uphill time when legs need a wake-up. gets hilly as riders cross Falling Creek and the South Anna River. Pocahontas State Park brings fire roads, dirt trails, and cyclocross-friendly handling practice. Heart of Virginia Bike Festival, Ride for Bikes for Kids Fundraiser, and Sherando 100k keep the anchor-event brain honest.

Locals carry fluids when July miles go long, especially on the Capital Trail where water can mean gas stations. Winter stays workable but sharper from late December to early February. 0 days.
