Rocktown Adventure Race

Rocktown Adventure Race 30 & 5 Hour | November 7–8, 2026 Massanutten Resort, VA | Shenandoah Valley USARA Race Series

There’s something about Rocktown.

Maybe it’s the way the morning fog hangs low over the Shenandoah Valley. Maybe it’s the sound of tires on singletrack as the sun breaks over the ridge. Or maybe it’s the quiet moment when your team pauses, map in hand, realizing this is what you came for.

The Race Built in collaboration with the local Harrisonburg adventure racing community, Rocktown is a race that blends intentional course design, world-class terrain, and just enough unpredictability to keep things interesting.

You won’t just follow a course. You’ll make decisions, adapt, and figure it out as you go.
