Seven Trails Endurance Run
About the race
Back where it all began in Damascus, VA, the Seven Trails Ultra Festival returns for another round of miles, memories, and trail magic.
It is a celebration of community, grit, and pushing past what you thought was possible.
Whether you are running 25K, 100 miles, or something in between, there are no cutoffs and no DNFs. Run your race, find your limit, then push past it.
Pre-race dinner
A complimentary dinner is provided for all runners on Friday at the Distillery. Menu: veg lasagna, meat lasagna, meatloaf (gluten-free available), mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, cornbread, and garlic bread.
Answer the two questions about the pre-race dinner in your UltraSignup registration.

Live timing and tracking

City insight: Damascus
Damascus is a small town in Washington County, Virginia, in the Tri-Cities region, with 788 residents at the 2020 census. The town suffered flooding and devastation from Hurricane Helene in 2024. Summers are warm and humid and winters are cold, so spring and autumn are the best seasons to race.
