Running, listening to music, all while supporting Americas Heroes?! Where do I sign up?!

The excitement will start at 9:30AM with a 1/2 mile Kids Fun Run, but have no fear, those of us who are still young at heart can jump in on the action too! After the Fun Run, lace up for the adventure of running a 5K on our all-terrain course, revealing the true beauty 200+ pristine acres in Montross has to offer.

After the endorphin rush of crossing the finish line: relax, recover and pop up a chair while listening to the tunes brought to you by 10-7 at Bigland. Food and beverage trucks will be on site.

*All proceeds from the festival will benefit 10-7 at Bigland, a 501c3 non-profit organization that supports Veterans, and First Responders in outdoor adventure activities.

** Parents can be on the course for support during the Fun Run!

We're rolling out a compact email with new listings and weekend-ready picks for races like this one. Want early access?
