Due to the size of this park and parking lot this race will be capped at 225 runners.

Montvale Park is a great setting for a park. In Bedford County the park is located at the end of Marketplace Drive.

Directions to the Park – To get to the park’s parking lot you will want to turn off of HWY 460 just before (heading east) and just after (heading west) the Montvale Elementary School.  Turn onto Marketplace Drive and head to the end of the turnaround.  This will lead you to the gravel road into the Park Main Entrance.  We will be staging the race from under the pavilions.  Make sure you carpool when you can and park closely to the person next to you.  The park has limited parking.

When it isn’t race day, there is also another way to access the park off of Quarterwood Road (across from the BP gas station).  The gravel parking lot will be approximately 1.5 miles on your left.

Montvale park is a 6.5 mile trail system that winds through old growth forest.   It is a very nice and scenic trail system.
