Introduction

Pulaski County, Virginia

Pulaski County, Virginia, is quickly becoming one of the Mid-Atlantic’s premier destinations for sports tourism and outdoor adventure. Set against the backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the county offers an unmatched combination of world-class venues, scenic landscapes, and signature events that attract competitors and spectators from across the country. In 2026, the reopening of the Pulaski County Motorsports Park, in partnership with the IHRA, brought the excitement of motorsports back to the region, while the nationally recognized Kayak Adventure Series fishing tournament and the fourth annual AJSA Summer Series jet ski races continue to showcase the area’s outstanding waterways. And cycling enthusiasts will take on the inaugural Pulaski MTN-X gravel bike race, a challenging mixed-surface event designed to become one of the nation’s premier gravel competitions. But perhaps the biggest development in Pulaski County is the opening of the new 165,000-square-foot Pulaski County Sportsplex, a state-of-the-art indoor venue capable of hosting travel tournaments, leagues, and community programming year-round. Together, these facilities and events position Pulaski County as a dynamic destination where recreation, competition, and unforgettable experiences come together.
