Join Laudenbach Brewing and Honor Bound FIT on Saturday, November 7, 2026, for the (Almost) Veteran's Day Beer Run!, a fun, slightly ridiculous, and entirely worthwhile event benefiting The Guidon Foundation. Whether you're a seasoned runner, a casual jogger, or someone who only runs when there's beer waiting at the finish line, this event is for you! HOW IT WORKS The concept is simple: Four laps around the brewery. Four drinks. One finish line. Participants will complete four laps around Laudenbach Brewing, drinking 8 ounces of their chosen beverage with each lap. Choose your fuel: Beer: For the traditionalists who appreciate the finer things in life. Non-Alcoholic Beer: All the flavor, none of the alcohol. Water: Because hydration is tactical, too. Run it competitively, jog it recreationally, or just come out to cheer on your favorite participant. You don't have to drink alcohol to participate, and you certainly don't have to be a veteran! EVENT DETAILS Date: Saturday, November 7, 2026 Location: Laudenbach Brewing / Honor Bound FIT 45 Centreport Parkway Fredericksburg, VA 22406 Start Times: 11:00 AM – First Wave12:00 PM – Second Wave Registration: $30 per participant 100% of event proceeds benefit The Guidon Foundation. PRIZES & BRAGGING RIGHTS Sure, we're doing this for a great cause. But that doesn't mean we can't get a little competitive! Each race wave will recognize its top two finishers with: 1st Place: Commemorative medal + $50 gift card 2nd Place: Commemorative medal + $25 gift card And, of course, the unofficial prize: the right to remind your friends that you outran them after drinking beer. MORE THAN JUST A BEER RUN This event supports The Guidon Foundation, a veteran-focused nonprofit dedicated to ending veteran and first responder suicide, strengthening communities, and inspiring the next generation of Americans through service, leadership, and engagement. Every registration helps advance that mission. By participating, you're doing more than running laps around a brewery. You're supporting an organization committed to honoring those who serve, connecting people to meaningful communities, and making a lasting difference. ALL ARE WELCOME! Military veterans, first responders, civilians, runners, walkers, beer enthusiasts, and designated cheerleaders are all invited to join the fun. Come celebrate the Marine Corps Birthday a little early, get a head start on Veterans Day, enjoy some friendly competition, and help us raise money for a worthy cause. The Army, Navy, Air Force, Space Force, and Coast Guard are welcome, too. We promise not to make you sing the Marines' Hymn. Register today, pick your wave, and join us for the (Almost) Veteran's Day Beer Run! Semper Fi. Run responsibly. Drink responsibly.

The Thankful 5k is a race dedicated to bringing together the Zeta Iota chapter of Alpha Phi, family members, and the greater UVA and Charlottesville community in honor of Shelley Goldsmith and Casey Schulman, two inspiring members of Alpha Phi at UVA. All funds raised for the 5k are donated to foundations and scholarships in their names aimed at providing support for students seeking or enrolled in higher education. The Shelley Goldsmith Memorial Scholarship is awarded to a Jefferson Scholars Foundation candidate from Southwest Virginia who made it to the final selection round. The Casey Schulman Foundation was started as a non-profit with the mission of awarding a college scholarship to Justice High School students who would carry on Casey's spirit. This year's race will not only include the return of the in-person 5k on grounds, but will continue last year's weekend-long virtual component, allowing supporting members to participate nation wide. The Thankful 5k derived its name from Casey's hand painted "thankful" sign that she kept above her bed. Thankful was the way Casey lived her life. After Casey passed away in 2012, her sisters in Alpha Phi took the initiative to create a new philanthropic event, the Thankful 5K. For 10 years, this race has continued to spread Casey's uncanny ability to inspire kindness and gratitude.

Take a walk on the WILDSTRIDE! Happy Cat Fitness believes in strength training alongside running/hiking. Let's combine the two! The 10k (6.2 mile) event will combine bodyweight strength exercises with hiking and/or running intervals. It will feature 6 low impact (modifiable), bodyweight, basic strength challenges like squats, lunges and push ups. The course is a 1.05 mile trail loop with woods & water views on a flat, fairly even dirt surface. There will be a 4 hour cutoff time for this event. Modifications will be given for the strength exercises, and no equipment is needed. Participants are encouraged to push themselves by wearing a weighted vest/rucksack for the hikes and/or exercise stations as well! WHY? My hope is that racers will not only train for the hike/run, but also the strength exercises. This therefore, will encourage folks to start incorporating cross training into their workouts. The race will be challenging for sure, but you can do more than you think! HOW? Register here & commit! Watch my videos to see the exercises and the modifications here (the video references a half marathon and just 3 exercises for the 10k, but see below for the format of this Spring version): HAPPY CAT RACE INFO PAGE WITH VIDEOS WHAT'S INCLUDED? This race is noncompetitive (except with yourself!) All racers who complete the challenge will receive a finisher award and an official time. The course will be clearly marked, and we will create a fun, inclusive environment for all. Light refreshments will be served, including water & electrolytes. Qualified fitness professionals will be on hand to help you with your form to keep you safe and motivated! T-shirts and merchandise will be available to purchase at checkout (or later up to 3 weeks prior to the event). T-shirts are not included in the race fee! Cutoff to order a T-shirt is October 18th. As the owner of Happy Cat Fitness, I have been a Personal Trainer and Group Fitness instructor since 2010. I have selected exercises that can be modified and mimic functional activities so the event can be accomplished at any fitness level. Will it be easy? NO! With training, commitment and consistency I know you can do it!

The Massanutten Monster is not your average 5K. Starting at the base of Massanutten Resort, this beast sends you climbing, grinding, and questioning your life choices all the way toward the top gaining over 1000 feet of elevation before turning you loose to bomb your way back down to the finish. It’s short. It’s steep. And it’s going to hurt. Think you can tame the Monster? The fastest male and female racers will each take home $200 cash—and in future races, an additional bounty will be added for anyone brave enough to steal the course record. One mountain. One Monster. 5K. Up and down. Come see what you’ve got. This is the course route marked in blue: https://caltopo.com/p/7J7C7

The James River Rush is Richmond’s only urban triathlon: run trails, bike singletrack, paddle Class III+ whitewater. Born from the legendary King of the James, this Nov 9 race brings community, rad trails, a little chaos, and the power of the river to an official competitive format. Race individually or as a team! Starting and finishing at the 14th Street takeout upper lot, the James River Rush winds through the city and into the shaded woods of the James River Park System. Riders hit Richmond’s legendary singletrack—Northbank and Buttermilk—laced with switchbacks, roots, creek crossings, and the kind of rhythm that built our MTB reputation. From there, a gritty trail run through the heart of the park keeps the momentum rolling. The finale? Pure unadulterated RVA whitewater. Paddlers charge Class III+ rapids from Reedy to 14th, dropping Hollywood, slicing Pipeline, and hammering the whitewater core of downtown. It all ends with a post-race party at Riverside Outfitters only RVA can deliver. This years course will be the exact same as last year's KOTJ Course and can be found HERE. The James River Outdoor Coalition (JROC) hosts this race each year to raise money for our park. Founded in 1997, we’re a Richmond nonprofit dedicated to improving the James River Park System through volunteer projects, community support, and education. From building trails and kiosks to protecting access and enhancing park experiences, JROC works to steward this natural gem of a green space right in the heart of the city. If you love the river like we do, join us!

As autumn draws toward its quiet end and the forests stand in their bronze and fading gold, the First Responder Turkey Trot Trail 10K is swiftly approaching. It is set forth for those who bear the weight of duty to serve their community - firefighters and law enforcement officers - to gather together to test their physical and mental fortitude. The trail winds through old woods and over steady rises, shaped by years and weather. The 5K offers a swift, purposeful course for those seeking a sharp test of strength. The 10K carries runners deeper into the terrain, demanding endurance, discipline, and resolve. Here, in the clear air of late fall, first responders take to the path to measure themselves, strengthen their bodies, and stand alongside others who know the demands of service. Each mile is a quiet testament to your resilience.

GUIDON22 2026 is more than a ruck. It is a deliberate act of remembrance, resilience, and resolve. This 22-mile movement brings veterans, first responders, families, and committed citizens together under one standard: to confront the reality of suicide in our community and refuse to look away. Each mile represents the weight too many have carried alone. Each step declares that we will carry it together. Hosted by The Guidon Foundation, whose mission is to honor God, uphold traditional American values, and strengthen individuals and communities in order to end veteran and first responder suicide and inspire young Americans to serve God and country, GUIDON22 is where physical hardship meets higher purpose. Whether you complete one mile or all twenty-two, you will leave stronger, more connected, and part of something that matters.

US Road Running Races US Road Running races are built for runners and walkers who like friendly, low-pressure race days with just enough competition to keep things exciting. Our events are local, welcoming, and easy to jump into, whether you are chasing a PR, collecting another themed medal, working toward series points, or just getting outside with good people. Most races are small enough to feel personal but organized enough to feel official. You can expect a clear course, helpful race staff, finisher medals, results, and a relaxed community feel. Bring your fast shoes, your steady walking pace, your favorite running buddy, or your best “I signed up for this on purpose” smile. We will be glad to see you at the start line. A quick race-day note: because many US Road Running events are small local races, we normally have one or two staff members at each race. EMS is not stationed on site, and water stations are limited to the finish area at the end of each lap and at the race finish. Please plan for the weather, bring anything you may want between laps, and check in with race staff if you need help. View Race Course, Results, and Race Information on the US Road Running race page.
