Howdy All are welcome to join a very chill jog on a section of the Rivanna. We’re looking at doing maybe 6-8ish miles at what ODC legend Bill Talley would call “party pace.” It’ll be chill jogging and talking with plenty of walking. If you want to do this but 6-8 miles sounds long, I urge you to join anyway. …
Hello fellow outdoor enjoyers, How ya doin. After the past few weeks of clogging my arteries they are practically screaming at me to get some exercise. And what better way to do that than to simultaneously enjoy the serenity of nature 🙂. In that spirit, I’ll be doing a trail run around ragged which is a nice ~6 mile loop. …
4 years ago in my first semester at UVA, I endeavored week after week to understand the intricate and complex trail segments that make up the full Rivanna Trail. I posted frustrated cries for help on Strava that spoke about the lack of any map to assist in piecing together the 21 mile circular urban trail network that is the …
Taylor and I will be doing some light trail running/jogging on O’Hill and wanted to invite anyone who’s been wanting to run with friends or try out trail running! We will meet at Echols at 8:30 and walk up the hill to the O’Hill trailhead (about a 10 minute walk; perfect for warming up). The warmup walk will take us …

I don’t know how it came to be but it seems like most rivanna jogs start from the AFC clock tower. This was ideal for me last year cause I learned all the sections of the rivanna that could be easily run from dorms. But now I live behind the corner, and turns out there are some gorgeous sections of …
Fairly fully described by this title! Dick woods is a nice rolling gravel road about 20 minutes away from UVA with beautiful views and fabulous fall colors and COWS. I’m thinking we do about 7 miles, but it will be an out and back situation thus we can adjust based on how we are all feeling. Pace will likely be …
Hey y’all! Figured it’d be good to take advantage of no classes on Nov 8. I’ve been meaning to join some trail running trips, but they always seem to conflict w/ my class schedule. Anyway, plan is: About an 8 mile run, partially on the Rivanna Trail and partially road running. It shouldn’t be too difficult if you run semi-regularly, …
Whaddup ODC, We’re back for a third consecutive week of Tuesday morning runs! This week we’re checking out the network of trails at Foxhaven. Prolly gonna put the route together on the fly because there’s a lot back here but the plan is 5ish miles with no more than like 400 feet of vert. What to bring: -water -running shoes …
Heyo All are welcome to join a very chill, post-stressful exam week jog on a section of the Rivanna. We’re looking at doing maybe 6-8ish miles at what ODC legend Bill Talley would call “party pace.” It’ll be chill jogging and talking with plenty of walking. If you want to do this but 6-8 miles sounds long, I urge you …
Whaddup ODC, It’s great to have seen so many trail runs posted this fall! Let’s keep the momentum going with an early morning jog around Ragged Mountain Reservoir, one of the best trail running spots in the Charlottesville area. The loop around the lake is about 5.5 to 6 miles and is hilly and somewhat technical. This is a beginner …
Hey y’all, The rivanna trail is one of Charlottesville’s coolest feature. The full trail does a 22 mile lap around the whole city, but we’re just doing a 6 ish mile loop around the dorm area. If you’ve had trouble getting off waitlists so far and wanna get outside, this trip doesn’t require drivers so it is a great one …
Supppp, Biscuit Run is a great trail to start running on because of its long flat start, great views and lots of little hills to try out. You might, just might, not hear the highway. It’s like the Neanderthal times with how quiet it gets. We’ll do ~5 miles at an easy (~9 min) pace, depending on how the group …
I want to run tomorrow and this is a good way to hold myself accountable. The plan is to just run for as long as we’re chill with, but not more than an hour (so maybe like 6-8 miles, but it’ll be a chill pace), and then either snag the ohill or head home to get ready for class. Priority …
Here’s the deal: This is a choose-your-own-adventure type of trip 🙂 I want to run a 10 mile loop in James River State Park, but people are welcome to do anything they’d like (hiking, running, birdwatching, just hanging out, visiting the gift shop,,,, the possibilities are endless, go wild) We’ll meet at 6:30 on Saturday, drive about an hour and …
Howdy folks Last time we were in the NRG for Gauley fest I led this sunrise run. As the adventure picture shows, we didn’t get much of a sunrise so I wanna run it back. This was a super chill 2.5 mile out and back with what I imagine is an awesome view when not socked in. This is a …
All my NRGE dirtbags, **PLEASE REFER TO THE NRGE CLUB EMAIL (Sent shortly after this post) AND READ THIS ENTIRE DESCRIPTION. THEN, FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS** New River Gorge Extravaganza 2022 This is NOT an actual NRGE adventure. This is the CARPOOL for NRGE. This is how the officers will keep track of drivers and attendees. So make our lives easier …

Do you like the forest, but are too impatient for hiking? Do you like to speed through the trees with the birds and the bees? Maybe you should come run trails with me! AT CREEKATHON! I’ve never explored the trails at walnut creek, so I’m excited to hit the dirt with a couple of ODC’s most enthusiastic trail runners! We …

Looking to get strapped, jacked, yoked, shredded, succulent, and or peeled? Tired of the artificial, commercial, repetitive nature of gyms? Would you rather have the powerful physique of an Icelandic shepherd than the “all show no go” muscle of bodybuilders? Want to spend a chill morning in the woods? If you answered yes to any of those or are at …
LISTEN UP FOLKS! It’s that time of year again. Time to make the winding journey down country (Albermarle county) roads to the place where dreams come true, where the sun shines forever, and where the Virginia red clay squelches abundantly. CREEK – A – THON definition: the most creeked, creeking creek-a-licious, creektastic, creek hangout, cookout, shredout, and headout of the …
what is upppppp friends. spend your fine saturday morning running/hiking/moving in the woods with me! i havent done rip rap or turk mountain before so why not attempt to squish em together into one! i know its early but getting up and doing the damn thing feels so good. heres the strava for the route! its ~16 miles with 4,000 …
Hey guys, The rivanna trail is one of Charlottesville’s coolest feature. The full trail does a 22 mile lap around the whole city, but we’re just doing a 4 ish mile loop around the dorm area. If you’ve had trouble getting off waitlists so far and wanna get outside, this trip doesn’t require drivers so it is a great one …
Howdy The plan is to go run a 4ish mile loop on the Rivanna trail tomorrow afternoon. It will be a chill pace but covers a fairly hilly part of the trail, so keep that in mind. This is a great trip for you if you’ve had troubles getting off waitlists and want to get a sense for how trips …
Tuesday morning trail runnin’ I feel like the title might say it all! We are going to go for a nice woodsy run Tuesday morning. I was thinking we could be slightly more creative and get a little more mileage than just running the 5.5 mile loop around the res, so this run is gonna start from the lovely Creekside …
Hey y’all!! I wanted to get out to Ragged sometime soon, so this is a trip for that. **We need drivers. Drivers get priority off the waitlist (but do not get reimbursed for gas because it’s only a 10 min drive) Personally, I’m going to run the loop (which is approx. 6 miles), but if you’d like to hike it …
What better way to start a Friday than a Rivanna jog? This trip is open to beginners and we will not be banging out 6 min miles. I’m going for more of a still buzzed from a ripping Thursday night vibe. That being said, the route is probably like 4.5-6 miles (I really should Strava it at some point) so …
Huuuuump dayyyy Trail run. Rivanna. 4-6mi. Beginners welcome.
What better way to leave your mark on Charlottesville than to leave your footprints ALL THE WAY AROUND IT??? Slip on your trail shoes, pack your electrolytes, and pray to the blister gods because we’re sending the crown jewel of Cville trail running. The Everest of Albemarle County. The El Cap of Old Dominion. Okay, maybe that’s too far, but …
Do you love trail running!??!? Are you not that great at it?!?!?!? Me too, so let’s do it together! This is a beginner friendly trail run at Ragged Mountain Reservoir. I’m looking to run majority of it, but definitely OK with walking some hills, taking breaks, etc. I’ve never run Ragged before so I honestly don’t really know how long …
Let the record show that this is the second attempt at this trip after Conor wasn’t feeling the wakeup the first time. Hopefully he’ll come around for the 2pm version. The plan is to drive to Ragged and run the main loop, which is around 7 miles. We’ll keep a pretty chill pace but running the whole time, the loop …
I somehow have never been to Ragged so I’m stoked Conor offered to drive. Thanks dude The plan is to drive to Ragged and run the main loop, which is around 7 miles. We’ll keep a pretty chill pace but running the whole time, the loop is supposedly fairly hilly. Building in a good amount of extra time, we should …
Hello all! I haven’t been getting outside much recently, so join me next Thursday on a trail run around Ragged! This is a 6 – 7 mile loop (the info booth at Ragged and Strava disagree on this point), so it is not for the faint of heart. I would like to run a decent pace, nothing too fast, but …

Picture this: You run the 5.9mi ragged mountain reservoir loop counterclockwise. Your palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy. There’s dirt on your sweater already. Sophia Benmhend and Lila Fenner show up to ragged with their polar plunge crew. You join them. The sweat is gone now, you probably shouldn’t use it as a substitute for a shower but …
Hey everyone! Ragged Mountain Reservoir is one of Charlottesville’s finest spots. It’s a nature area with a lake and several miles of trails just a few miles from Grounds. let’s get after it with an early morning run. The plan will be to meet at the brick wall by Echols dorm at 7:15am. If you don’t know where this is, …
*Driver needed and gets priority off waitlist!* Hello! My classes don’t start until 11am on Monday so I thought it’d be nice to hit the trails beforehand. I’m a pretty slow runner (fast walker??) and I’d like to jog continuously, but at an easy pace . The loop is ~5 miles though so make sure you can do that comfortably. …
MOAB, UTAH 2022 ALL ABOARD THE GNAR TRAIN May we all blossom from this snow and ice ridden East Coast of ours and emerge as sun children in the soft red sands of the Utah desert. There is but one ODC trip worthy of such transition and namesake, and it is our annual pilgrimage the arid paradise of MOAB, UTAH. …
By Monday we will be almost a week into finals and I’m thinking everyone will be ready to take a little time away from clem, and as the leaves have started to clear up on the Rivanna this seems like the perfect place to do it! also the weather is supposed to get a little warmer again (~60°)! The plan …
Wednesday is a reading day which means we all have more schedule flexibility and can go running together! It also is going to be very cold and maybe raining (snowing) on Wednesday according to my apple weather so it seems like running is the only activity that might be manageable outside. Let’s meet up at the shred shack at 3:30 …
**DRIVER NEEDED Hi everyone I’m planning on taking myself and a few others on ANOTHER! ✨ easy, breezy✨ trail run through ragged mountain nature area. I rarely run more than a few miles and I’m also not the speediest, so this is definitely going to be for people looking to get some exercise but also aren’t up for a ton …

Day-tripping is an art form, but also a science. It can be learned in minutes, but takes a lifetime to master. The reward? Achieving the fullest of sends while still having the luxury of sleeping in your own bed that night. Ok that was a pretty dramatic intro for a 9 or so mile hike but you get the point. …
Just got done with a rough week of tests and have decided not to put in the effort to write some fun intro. Sorry to disappoint. This is a very routine trip. We meet at the ohill clocktower at 8, run trails for whats probably 5 or 6 miles, and are back before 9. Optional ohill breakfast follows (and I …
My baby arms can’t climb three days in a row, so I’m gonna run on Friday!! Someone posted a trip to Glade Creek Trail a few years back and rumors have it theres a rope swing at the swimming hole pictured above! I think the swing is a mile out from the car so it would be awesome to stop …
Sunrise + Trail Running? Mmm I think yes! I’m running a road race on the 7th but I still wanna see sunrise and hit the trails on Saturday so I’m doing this trip to be a pretty easy 2-mile shakeout to go see the sunrise at Diamond Point before a full day of sending. I’m not a particularly fast runner, …
So its become clear to me that sunrise on a Friday is an unideal time for this trip…. so let’s try it again! What’s up trail boppers!! You know the drill, it’s another early trail jaunt. This week our run will be ~extra special~ because we are going to venture out to the Biscuit Run trails! Not only are we …
With a 1230 football game, it’s unlikely I’ll make healthy decisions most of the day Saturday. And because life is all about balance, why not squeeze in a trail run to start to day? If that logic follows, keep reading. I was thinking we could do something like the loop off natural resources drive once or twice, or hit something …
HELLOOOO MY FELLOW CREATURES OF THE TRAILS!!!! CAMBC (Charlottesville Area Mountain Biking Club) has given me a bunch stickers to label the ohill trail markers, so I’m thinkin nothin like a Thursday morning to plop around the woods and STICKER!! THOSE!! TRAILS!!! SO we shall convene at the ohill trail entrance, pair up and walk/hike/jog the trails for a wee …
YOU ALL!!! I am so excited for this trip you don’t even know. Want to spend 2 nights in a cozy cabin just 0.1 miles from the AT and right off the skyline drive with 9 of your newest friends? WITH A WOOD STOVE?!?! Stoke is high!!!!!! The Potomac Appalachian Trail Club is a fantastic organization – they are a …
