Join us on Sunday, April 27th, 2025 for the Huckleberry Jam presented by Skip Slocum & Associates, Roots Realty Group! The Huckleberry Jam offers two race distance options - 8.1 miles and 1.75 miles. Both race distances are point-to-point courses finishing at the Christiansburg Rec Center. For a fee, shuttles will be available to transport runners back to RunAbout Sports upon completion.
