Fall Foliage Adventure Race - Broad Run Off Road
Fall Foliage Adventure Race is an adventure racing event held in Jamestown, Virginia on October 10, 2026. The event offers two timed formats: a 15 hour race and a 5 hour race. Both formats combine paddling, biking and trekking with navigation by map and compass to locate checkpoints.
The 5 hour course includes beginner friendly biking on a mix of gravel and paved surfaces and a reduced course that shares sections with the longer race. The 15 hour course covers multiple parks, conservancies and historic sites and extends into the night; the region’s terrain yields relatively flat biking sections.
Participants may enter as solo competitors or in 2, 3, or 4 person teams. There is a family division and age limits differ by race; younger participants have specific team requirements. The event is USARA sanctioned and the 15 hour race scores points in the Adventure Race World Series. Race proceeds benefit Bike Walk Williamsburg.
Typical registration items provided include a boat with paddle and lifejacket, race shirt (guaranteed for early registrants), topographic maps, in race equipment transport, race pictures, post race food and awards. Participants must carry mandatory gear such as a mountain bike, certified helmet, backpack, rear red blinking bike light, compass, map case, whistle and compact first aid kit. The 15 hour race requires additional night and safety gear including front bike light, headlamp with spare batteries, paddle bag, safety glowsticks and water purification.
