James River Scramble (10kish)
Beware: The James River Scramble is not your typical Saturday stroll in the park.
Along this 10k-ish course you may encounter roots, gravel, rough terrain, and low-hanging branches. Up for the challenge? You’ll get to experience firsthand some of RVA’s best outdoor gems. This is not a race for walkers.
