Loop de Ville Fest is a full day of guided group hikes, walks, runs and bike rides on the Rivanna Trail.

This is your chance to experience a guided and supported hike, run, or bike on the ~20 mile loop of trails that encircle our city!

Only wanna do a mile or two? No problem! We’ve got shorter events that only cover small sections of the loop. Join for what you want and nothing more. Some folks are even doing team relays!

All events are FREE with an optional donation!
