Registration has closed for 2024. No race day registration.

Thinking about running your first trail race? Thinking about trying a distance just a little outside your comfort zone? Looking for a good training run for Terrapin, Promise Land, or another fantastic spring race on your schedule? Or are you just looking to have a trail party with some of the coolest CATs in the area? Whatever your reason or skill level, the Naked Creek Trail Race is the race for you!!

The CATs are excited to partner with Panorama Farms and title sponsor Formula Complete Fitness for the 2024 Naked Creek Trail Race. The race will be held at the exclusive Panorama Farms site, the 2022 NCAA Cross Country Championship, and the home cross country course to UVA. The 25K and 10K courses will be approximately 90% wooded single track/double track and 10% open cross country/jeep road. The courses will feature spectacular views of the South Fork Rivanna River Reservoir, Blue Ridge Mountains, and spend miles meandering along (and across!) Naked Creek. If you don't believe me, check out some of the stunning views you will be treated to on race day here.

The trails at Panorama Farms are private land inaccessible to the public, so it will be a real treat to experience them on race day!! Elevation profiles, course maps, and .gpx files of the courses are available on the NCTR Facebook page. The 25K course will feature ~2300 ft of ascent/descent, and the 10K course will feature ~1000 ascent/descent.

As a bonus, a portion of the proceeds from this race will go back to Panorama Farms and help support their continued efforts to host local high school cross country meets!
