This will mark the first trail running race at Bedford's Falling Creek Park. By race morning the park should be in mid bloom and full of color. This is a great park that has some fun rolling twisty single track. I have participated in a mountain bike race here, as part of the Virginia Derailer Series, for the past 2 years (http://www.vaderailerseries.com/) and thought it would be a great location for a trail running event. Each time I've been to the park the amount of trails has increased and there always seems to be something new. I've heard a version of the parks long term plan and it seems like it is going to be a place for everyone. Visit http://bedfordtrails.wordpress.com/ for Bedford County Parks and Recreation Trail info.
Course Description: The 10k course follows one 6.2 mile loop on the rolling single track. The Half Marathon will continue onto a longer 9 mile loop and a shorter 4 mile loop. This will be a great race for you to push your boundries. Runners that normally do a 5k should push themselves onto a 10k and runners that normally run a 10k should double their effort to complete the half marathon. This course is on rolling terrain. There are few rocks and no lung busting uphills. It is a great location for an alternative to beating up your joints on the road.

Josh, thanks so much for all the work you put into the race today. (5-10-08) I had a blast. It was my first trail race and I'll definitely be back for more. Keep up the good work! - Will Wall
