2nd Annual Run for Valor! – 2024 RUN FOR VALOR 5K/10K/10K RUCK & 1 MILE FUN RUN/WALK
April 20 @ 7:00 am - 11:00 am
Come join us to support a great cause and enjoy some fresh air and exercise at a beautiful farm in King George, Va. This 120 acre farm is home to Valor Ranch a local 501(c)(3) organization that specializes in recreational therapy for military members that have sustained injuries in the service of this country. 100% of the proceeds of this event will go directly to the nonprofit to expand the programs, activities and services that they offer to injured service members. Please visit their website for more information https://valorranch.us.
The 5K and 10K courses are trail runs throughout the farm and will be officially timed by Bishop’s Events. The 10K ruck follows the same course as the 10K run and will not be timed. All participants can expect uneven terrain, an occasional tree root and the possibility of mud/standing water (depending on the weather leading up to the race date). The course is on unpaved surfaces along pastures, woods, and a gravel road. The 1-mile fun run/walk will be on gravel roads and well packed trails.
Ages ten (10) and up for all events, except the 1mile run/walk which is all ages, paces, and walkers are welcome. There will be post-race music, vendors & games, as well as food & drinks available for purchase. Valor Ranch SWAG included for EVERYONE that registers!
