If your four-legged friend wants to join in, sign up for Dog Wave and bring him along!

The Mountain Bike Time Trial on May 17 pits you against your best time. Take on the clock for a frantic evening ride along the James River and try to hit a personal record. Registration is $40, increasing to $45 on the event weekend.

Think you have what it takes to try the Trail Takedown? This two-day run will wind through over 19 miles through RVA, including the James River Scramble on May 18 and the Bust the Banks Half Marathon on May 19. Registration is $120, increasing to $140 on the event weekend and includes a short-sleeved technical shirt, post-race beverage, and a virtual goodie bag. Everyone will enjoy a free concert at the finish line!
