Did you know C'ville has one of the most active running clubs and running community in the country? There is some kind of road or cross country race almost every week! Check out these resources:
1. The number of events the Charlottesville Track Club (CTC) sponsors is a major reason why Charlottesville was rated one of the top running communities in the country.

I never ran in a race 'till I moved down to Charlottesville. Last year I did 6 different 5-10K races as well as the C'ville 10 Miler and 1/2 Marathon. 
It's just awesome terrain and geography for running! Hills, scenery, and more hills! I use http://www.FavoriteRun.com Cool site where you can map your routes and get distances. You can also share routes with other runers.
