Powhatan Pursuit 5k, 10k & Half 2026

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. Staggered starts send the half marathon participants off first, followed by the 10K and then the 5K. 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.
