Run Fest at Panorama Farms

Run Fest at Panorama Farms is a one-day running festival in Albemarle County that blends scenic trail racing with a lively outdoor celebration. Set on the renowned cross country course at Panorama Farms - a private venue rarely open to the public - the event features a 4-mile trail race, a team relay, and a one-mile fun run open to all ages and abilities (and leashed dogs!).

Beyond the races, attendees can enjoy a full festival atmosphere with live music, local food trucks, and a biergarten from Random Row Brewing Co.. Wellness-focused pop-ups, including sauna and cold plunge experiences, fitness classes, and yoga sessions, add to the day’s unique mix of activity and relaxation.

Whether participating or spectating, Run Fest offers a welcoming, community-driven experience that showcases the natural beauty of the Charlottesville area while supporting local education initiatives through the UVA Innovation Hub.
