Run. Cheer. Sip. Repeat.

Run Fest at Panorama Farms combines scenic trail running with a lively community festival featuring local brews, live music, and endless fun. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Panorama Farms - home to the University of Virginia’s cross country teams and host of the 2023 NCAA Cross Country Championships - every step supports the UVA Innovation Hub at Charlottesville Middle School.

Pick Your Run:

One race? Great. Two? Even better. All three? Legendary.

Register for multiple events and score a limited-edition Run Fest hat, plus bonus high-fives when you cross the line.

At most races, you cross the finish line and head home.
At Run Fest, the finish line is just the beginning:

  • Start your morning at the coffee truck

  • Cheer on your friends and teammates

  • Refuel with local food trucks

  • Soak up the views at Panorama Farms

  • Grab a cold craft beer from Random Row Brewing Co.

  • Enjoy live music from local bands

  • Run or walk with your dog

  • Celebrate community, walking, running, and everything in between

Come for the run

Stay for the fun (and a great cause!)
