RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) -- The Virginia Capital Trail is celebrating 10 years in October with two nights of festivities and community.

Tickets are $65 per person, with an 8-pack available for $600, which includes recognition in the program and a raffle entry, according to a release.

Per the release, each of these days includes complimentary beverages, a commemorative 10th anniversary pint glass and dinner -- BBQ and sides in Williamsburg or wood-fired pizza and appetizers in Richmond.

“The Virginia Capital Trail is such a tremendous asset to our communities and region. From daily commutes and outdoor adventures to driving trail development and inspiring new business ventures, we’re incredibly proud of the impact the Trail has made,” said Cat Anthony, Executive Director of the Virginia Capital Trail Foundation. “As we celebrate this milestone, we’re honored to reflect on the vision that brought the Trail to life and excited to focus on what’s ahead as we work to extend the Trail to Williamsburg and beyond.”
