Join us for our 17th annual hike around the City on the Rivanna Trail! Registration is now open for RTF members, and begins October 6 for the general public.

Approximate distance: ~ 19 miles.
Approximate hiking time: approximately 8 hours. This is variable due to rest stops and hiking speeds. We are not out to set any time record, but will keep a steady pace.
We hike around the City in counterclockwise direction, using road walks and detours where necessary. We will have some rock-hops across streams, so participants may want to bring a pair of water-safe shoes or sandals.
Start: Riverview Park is located at the eastern end of Chesapeake Street. We leave promptly at 6:30 AM.
What to bring: boots or sturdy shoes; clothes appropriate for “urban wilderness” hiking and for weather conditions; stream crossing shoes or sandals; water; snacks; personal needs.
Important note: This is a strenuous hike--not technically difficult, but it's a long day. Be sure you build up your endurance and break in your boots before hike day.
By registering for this hike, you:
- Acknowledge having read the above hike description.
- Acknowledge inherent risks, hazards, and dangers of this activity.
- Assume and accept any and all risks associated with participation.
- Attest that your physical and mental health are adequate for safe participation.
How to participate: No cost. Just register so we’ll know to expect you.
We'll send out final details to registrants the week before the hike.
