Running through the historic battlefields with a full support crew and incredible aid stations made this the best race weekend of my year. I'll be back every fall.

Part of me does not want the rest of the world to learn how great this race is. The community support is amazing, the views are incredible and the race director so dedicated to keeping everything fun and safe with a unique passion and continuous motivation. Running through the historic battlefields can not be described, it should be experienced. Make the trip, do this run, enjoy the community and feel the history.

My kids still talk about the Fun Run a year later. Between the course, the volunteers, and the finish-line festival, this race treats families like part of the community, not an afterthought.

I've run marathons all over the country and nothing compares to crossing the C&O Canal at sunrise. Impeccably organized, gorgeous course, and a cause worth running for.
