Bridge & Trestle 17 Mile Run

The Bridge & Trestle is a 17-mile trail run organized by the State of Franklin Track Club in Damascus, Virginia. The out-and-back course connects the historic Alvarado train depot with the start of the Abingdon trail.

The race promotes sustainability by skipping disposable cups in favor of reusable folding cups at aid stations. Awards go to the top male and female finishers, and hot drinks and snacks await runners at the finish. Part of the club's Trail Series and Long Distance Series, the event supports efforts to keep local trails clean and free of litter.
