About the Event

Come on out and join us for the Second Annual YL RoCo 5k & Fun Run in support of Young Life in Rockbridge County! We are planning to have a beautiful twilight race at the VA Horse Center Hoofbeats Barn. Whether you're an olympic hopeful, a jogger, or walk the whole time we would love to have you out with us. The route will go from the Hoofbeats Barn through the woods and follow along a beautiful trail on the Maury River. We will have food trucks on site for you to purchase food after the race. We will have prizes for the top 3 male and top 3 female finishers!

Signing up you will receive a free cotton t-shirt. We can not guarantee we will have your size shirt if you register after September 27th.

Help support Young Life ministry in Rockbridge County serving local middle, high school, and college aged students.
