Shorefire Trail Races

Sunday, October 18, 2026Huddleston, VA15.9 Miles

The Shorefire 25K and 10K offer a scenic tour through the well-maintained trail system of Smith Mountain Lake State Park. Runners will experience a mix of flat, fast doubletrack trails balanced with punchy climbs and stunning views of the lake. The 25K course features rolling hills and a mostly nontechnical surface, while the 10K includes a short technical section before opening up into runnable terrain. Both routes start and finish at the Beach Pavilion, providing a convenient hub for spectators and post-race activities. As a Trail Sisters Approved event, the race emphasizes a welcoming and supportive environment for all participants. With aid stations strategically placed at scenic points, runners can enjoy the natural beauty of the native forest while tackling their distance goals.
