NEW in 2026: FARC Grand Prix Series 5k Race with Certified Course!!!
Returning this year, 10K RACE: 10K mix of trail (SEE UPDATED map change for 10k)
RACE COURSE at the 1st Day of Chancellorsville Battlefield in Fredericksburg, VA starting at 8am (10K), 8:10am (5K), and 9:15am (1 Miler). Start and Finish at 1st day of Chancellorsville Battlefield parking lot. Races will take place on gravel and dirt surface; rolling hills with beautiful scenery following a loop trail around the battlefield. 5k remains on trail turning around near the cemetery. Kid's races will follow a shorter loop to complete their distances.
UPDATE: (3/17/26) Due to a permit issue the 10K route has changed to stay on the trail. This distance will take place on the 5k course extending just past the 5k turnaround and then with a turn around at the top of hill returning to start line completing a second loop prior to finishing at the start/finish line. SEE MAP on FAQ page for updated map and directions.
A portion of the proceeds from our event will go directly to our local VFW Post 3103.
