Check out this fall’s most exciting adventure yet, as we invite your whole family (and all your closest friends, neighbors, and race mates) to the 5K like no other. You don't have to be a Scout member to participate! As if Camp wasn't cool enough already, we decided to give it a GLOW UP! With fun glow-in-the-dark t-shirts, bracelets, and more, we’ll light up camp like never before.

Forget about those boring award ceremonies, we’re having a giant campfire program with S’mores! Our top 3 male and female racers in each age bracket will get an awesome award - 45 awards in all! Each Kids 1-Miler participant, 18 years of age and under, will receive an award and sticker at the finish line!

Race Shirts
Early registration includes one FREE glow-in-the-dark shirt per participant.  Additional shirts can be purchased for $20.  Race shirts are not guaranteed for participants who do not register online by our order deadline (September 1st) - a limited number of extras will be purchased.

Packet Pickup
Come visit us at the Heart of Virginia Council Leadership Center at 8090 Villa Park Drive in Henrico on October 2nd from 12pm to 3pm, and October 3rd from 4pm to 6pm to pick up your packets and t-shirts! Packets can also be picked up on the day of the race at our Cub Adventure Camp Welcome Center starting at 5pm.

Race Check In
Race check in begins at 5pm on the day of the race at the Cub Adventure Camp Welcome Center.  Packets can be picked up, and walk-up registrations will be available until 6:20pm for the Kids 1-Miler and 7:00pm for the 5K.

Race Timing
The 5K trail race is a chipped, timed race.  Bibs will be included at packet pick-up.  1-Miler participants will receive a bib; however, this race is not timed or chipped.  Timing is provided by Commonwealth Timing and Race Management.

Saturday Night Camping
Participants may register to camp overnight Saturday for $5 per camper (5 years and up).  Please see our Cub Adventure Camp Map - 5K and 1 Miler PDF for campsite details (in red).  You can easily include your night with us when you register for the race - simply add the number of "5K Campers" (5 and under are FREE) to your order!
