Program areas at Charlottesville Track Club
Charlottesville Ten Miler: Established 1976, The Charlottesville Ten Miler is the area's oldest and most prestigious footrace. Widely considered to be the "most scenic urban course" in the state, this rolling tour of Charlottesville brings runners through Jefferson's beautiful UVA "grounds", up Rugby Road, down Preston, up the historic downtown mall, around Court Square and the gorgeous Park Street neighborhoods, up Main Street and by the famous University "Corner." The race supports multiple charities in the local area with large (20k+) and small (1-3k) donations from race proceeds and donations.
Pepsi 10K: The money raised from this run goes directly to the Local Area 3 Special Olympics. There are no paid positions at the local level and all coaches and staff are volunteers. All funds are used to pay for equipment, uniforms, travel to competitions, and educational materials about Special Olympics.
Charlottesville Women's Four Miler: The 41st annual Charlottesville Women's Four Miler was held at Foxfield on Saturday, September 2nd, 2023. This much-loved community event began in 1983 and, since then, has grown to become the largest women's-only race in Virginia while raising over 4.2 million dollars for the UVA Breast Care Center. It is a fun, challenging, and deeply meaningful local tradition. Participants run or walk the beautiful countryside course, or participate virtually from anywhere. Proceeds benefit the UVA Breast Care Program. As of fiscal year end, final donations were being collected and the payment to benefit the UVA Breast Care Program was in process, but not reflected in fiscal year financials.
All other races run by the club, including any associated donations. Expenses included direct expenses of the races, a storage shed for the club, and a variety of beneficiary payments to local charities and for our scholarship program.
