Grab your friends, family, survivors, previvors, and caretakers and join us for a beautiful morning of love, prayer, fellowship, and fun! Oh...and a 5k run/walk + kid's dash! This is a FUN run/walk and not a timed event. The Frick & Frack Story: In 2017, we held our 1st Annual Frick & Frack 5K benefiting two wonderful sisters in our Hampton Roads community named Pattie and Jackie... affectionately know as Frick & Frack. They were both diagnosed with breast cancer in the same year and we were able to come together and help them in a beautiful way. The story doesn't end there. A few months after that race, Pattie’s daughter Lyndsey was also diagnosed with her second round of Breast Cancer. Yes...you read that right. Within less than a year, the same family had been struck 3 times! All 3 women are SURVIVORS today, and along with their framily and community, these women have set out on a crusade to take care of others, just as they were cared for during their battle. They have appropriately adopted the slogan...Her fight is our fight. All proceeds from this event stay local and will benefit the Free Range Sisters Foundation. This foundation is set-up to assist our local female warriors with a variety of needs to include: medical connections and assistance, transportation, and our beloved comfort baskets for those healing from surgery and/or chemotherapy/radiation treatment. It has been our privilege to also walk alongside each of our warriors and help them with other needs such as general moral support, household care and financial assistance. Until there is a cure for these cancers, we will always have someone in need! By supporting this event, you are directly enabling our community to step up and fight together. Her fight is OUR fight! CHEERS! We hope you will join us for the Frick & Frack FRAMILY race!

SOAR works to eliminate the stressors and triggers that could lead to relapse. The certified team at Verdun utilizes our thirty-three element challenge course to build community among our participants teaching healthy communication, leadership skills, resilience, and collaboration. Project SOAR also takes a comprehensive approach to promoting health. Participants engage in a nutrition workshop led by The Virginia Cooperative Extension office, physical training each day, yoga workshops, breathing workshops, and more. These workshops are designed to create multiple avenues to long term mental, emotional and physical health. Additionally, this program introduces participants to healthy hobbies like kayaking, hiking, rock climbing, woodworking, disc golf, and others with the purpose of providing lifelong healthy activities for participants to engage in. Project SOAR is a collaborative program with several other organizations involved. For example, Hope Water Wellness provides art therapy sessions for participants, Rappahannock Goodwill Industries provides career coaching, and the Remington Community Garden provides gardening education. Through these partnerships Verdun provides a comprehensive approach to empowerment in recovery giving participants several tools to engage with in order to achieve Success and Overcome Adversity while in Recovery.

The Sprout 5K supports Sprout Therapeutic Riding & Education Center in Aldie, Virginia—a nonprofit (501(c)(3)) dedicated to changing lives through partnerships with horses. Sprout provides high-quality, adaptive programming that supports the physical, cognitive, social, and emotional development of individuals with a wide range of diagnoses. Each week, Sprout serves more than 185 individuals, made possible by the dedication of over 100 volunteers who help bring these life-changing experiences to fruition. Recognized as Loudoun County’s “Best of the Best” Equestrian Facility, Sprout is a leader in delivering inclusive, impactful equine-assisted services. Proceeds from the Sprout 5K directly fund participant subsidies, need-based scholarships, horse care, facility operations, and specialized adaptive equipment—ensuring that every rider has access to the support they need to grow, thrive, and succeed. Sprout serves individuals of all ages who are navigating physical, cognitive, social, and emotional challenges—each with their own story, strengths, and goals. Some riders are working to build strength and coordination. Others are finding their voice, gaining confidence, or experiencing connection in a way that feels safe and empowering. What they all share is the opportunity to be seen not for their limitations, but for their potential. Each week, more than 185 individuals walk through our gates and into a community where they are encouraged, supported, and celebrated. With the help of over 100 dedicated volunteers, riders form powerful partnerships with our horses—partnerships that foster independence, resilience, joy, and a sense of community. Sprout has been recognized as a Platinum-ranked non-profit through Candid, a PATH Premier Center and Loudoun County’s “Best of the Best” Equestrian Facility, but what matters most is what happens within each lesson: moments of progress, confidence, and connection that extend far beyond the barn.

The RVA Mile (aka Regency Mile), along with the 5 & Under 400m Express Run, has held the record for the largest timed youth road race in Richmond for 15 years! With both in-person and virtual race options, an adult race, condensed start times, and a fall festival, this event provides a family-friendly day of racing. The course is entirely closed to traffic and encircles Regency Square Mall. This year, we have a kid’s mile, parent’s mile, and a 400m race for ages 5 & under. After the race, make sure to stick around and enjoy our Fall Festival complete with candy, games, activities from our sponsors, and more! The races are organized into a series of heats (or waves) based on age and gender to keep each race competitive and fun for everyone. When you register, you’ll automatically be assigned to the correct heat for your age group. Each heat has a specific start time, and it’s important to run in the heat you’re assigned to as we cannot guarantee an accurate time or award if you do not run in your assigned heat / wave. There’s also an Elite Wave that kicks off the event, using an “equalizer” format—women start first, followed shortly by men—and the first person across the finish line wins the top prize. You can view the full heat schedule and start times here. Be sure to register on or before 10/16 to be guaranteed a race t-shirt! As part of the RVA Mile, cash awards are given to area schools to help with their Physical Education programs, and each year, the competition is fierce! Learn more here!
