Trails with Mile Markers in Virginia

Virginia has 41 trails with mile markers in this directory, across 25 cities and towns — Richmond, Virginia Beach, Centreville, Charlottesville and 21 more. Marked miles for pacing and measured intervals, for when GPS drifts under trees.

Labels come from each trail's own listing, its website and runners' reviews. Conditions change with the weather and the season, and gates and lights follow the park's own hours, so check a recent review before you drive out.
