The hilly course winds through Nellies Cave Park fields and dirt trails and through mowed grass field trails in The Meadows - which is located off of South Main Street in Blacksburg, VA. A water station will be provided mid-course.

After the race, stick around for an Awards Ceremony, costume contest, photos with Potter characters, quidditch fun, door prizes and more for wizards and muggles alike!

Early registration is open until August 15th and guarantees a t-shirt. Regular registration (open from August 16-31, 2018) and same day registration does not guarantee a t-shirt.
