Run Fest at Panorama Farms combines scenic trail running with a community festival featuring local brews, live music, and real good eats. 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 - this is the ultimate fun run experience. Join us!

Pick Your Fun:

All of these add-ons are fun, relaxed, and absolutely free! Check our schedule for specific class times.

Formula Pop-Up Strength Class

Step into a high-energy strength session designed to challenge and energize - no matter your experience level. This pop-up class from Formula Complete Fitness blends smart, functional strength work with expert coaching to help you move better, feel stronger, and have some fun along the way.

Oh - and you’ll be rocking silent disco headphones, so you can lock into the music, hear your coach clearly, and fully dial into your own workout zone. Whether you're jumping in post-race or just looking to mix things up, this is your chance to train with one of Charlottesville’s best.

SISU Space Sauna/Cold Plunge Pop-Up

Step into the heat, then take the plunge. This guided sauna and cold exposure experience from Sisu Space is all about contrast - helping your body recover, reset, and recharge after a morning of movement.

Move between the wood-fired sauna and invigorating cold plunge to boost circulation, reduce soreness, and leave feeling fully refreshed.

Whether you’re looking for post-run recovery or just a moment to slow down and reset, this is your invitation to embrace the edge (in the best way).

Hot Yoga Charlottesville Pop-Up Class

Slow it down, stretch it out, and reset your body. This guided hot yoga session from Hot Yoga Charlottesville is designed to help you recover, improve mobility, and find a little calm in the middle of the Run Fest energy.

Expect a welcoming, all-levels flow that focuses on breath, movement, and mindful recovery - perfect after a race or anytime you need to loosen up and recharge. Whether you're a seasoned yogi or stepping onto the mat for the first time, you’ll leave feeling lighter, more mobile, and ready for whatever’s next (perhaps a beer?).

Thanks to our sponsors!
