Huckleberry Jam Point-To-Point

Join us on Sunday, June 2nd, 2024 for the Huckleberry Jam presented by Skip Slocum & Associates, Roots Realty Group! The Huckleberry Jam offers two race distance options - 8.1 miles and 1.75 miles. Both race distances are point-to-point courses finishing at the Christiansburg Rec Center. For a fee, shuttles will be available to transport runners back to RunAbout Sports upon completion.

The 8.1 mile race begins at RunAbout Sports and utilizes the entire length of the Huckleberry Trail. Two aid stations will provide water and Gatorade along the way. The 1.75 Mile race starts at the New River Valley Mall at the Huckleberry Trail gate by the Kohl's store.

RunAbout Sports will be donating all net proceeds to the Friends of the Huckleberry Trail. The group uses 100% of donations and funding for the engineering and construction of the Huckleberry Trail and the amenities along the trail.  
All runners who finish either race earn a rail-road spike finisher award. 

*Race shirts are guaranteed to all who register on or before Thursday, May 20th. Additional shirts will be available based on our best estimations, but registrants after the cutoff may not receive a shirt depending on availability.
