🚨 Registration is OPEN! The 18th RNUTS Is Here 🚨
After a lot of behind-the-scenes work, we’re excited to finally say it: registration for the 18th Roanoke Non-Ultra Trail Series is LIVE! 🎉
The schedule is locked, the races are set, and we’re ready to kick off 2026 on the trails.
As the saying goes: you don’t get everything you ask for — but you don’t get anything you don’t ask for. That pretty much sums up our attempt to add a new USFS race for 2026. We weren’t able to get all the details finalized in time, but the door is still open — 2027 is on our radar, and we’ll keep pushing.

🔄 What’s New for 2026
We’ve made a few important (and exciting) updates:
• Schedule shuffle:
The Mineshaft 10k will take over the former Mill Mountain Mayhem 10k date due to the Star Trail parking lot being closed for major improvements (paving, expansion, and more) from Oct 2025–Oct 2026.
• New race added:
We’re thrilled to welcome the Twisted Trail 10k, directed by the Blue Ridge Trail Runners, into the RNUTS lineup.
If you raced the series last year, this is the same course you ran as Mineshaft 2.0 in 2025 — and it’s a fan favorite.
