Rider Rattler 4-Miler & 8-Miler

About the Event

The Rider Rattler is being revived after a several year hiatus by Rider Park Director, Sara Street, and Pursue Your Happiness. We are happy to offer two distances; 4 and 8 miles. Both will bring runners and hikers to three beautiful vistas using a variety of trails.

• 4-miler: 4.3 miles, 675ft elevation gain. Primarily double-track trail with some single-track.
• 8-miler: Approximately 8.2 miles, 1350ft elevation gain. Even mix of double and single-track trail with some more technical sections.

This event is a rain or shine (or snow!) event. There will be no refunds, deferrals, or bib transfers.

Both distances are qualifying races for the Rocksylvania Trail Series 2025.

About Rider Park
