The 5K Race will start and finish at Rockfish River Elementary School, with parking and bathrooms available. This scenic out-and-back course begins at the school, heads down the drive, and turns right onto Chapel Hollow Road. The course slopes gradually uphill towards the Blue Ridge Mountains for the first 1.5miles, and then back down the same hill, until the final push, back up the school drive! This course can be described as moderate.
The Kid’s 1 mile run will start at the same location as the 5K run but will be on the school campus and not on Chapel Hollow Road.
