On Saturday, April 25, the Twentieth Annual Fodderstack 10K Race will be run from Flint Hill to Washington.
While there are any number of participants who legitimately compete for the $300 cash prize offered to the runner who bests the course record of 31:26 for men and 31:46 for women, the emphasis is on having a good time. Okay, maybe the first, second and third place trophies crafted by local artisan Meryl Strange for males and females in each of 10 categories also acts as something of an incentive...and perhaps the Eva Smith Memorial trophies to the first finishing Rappahannock (male and female) also adds some fleetness of foot.
Really though, the bottom line is getting out and enjoying the first blush of Spring (and crushing your unworthy opposition).
The race runs from the Vierling’s Flint Hill Packing Shed down U.S. 522 to a right turn onto Fodderstack Rd. (look for the State Trooper; don’t run into him or his car, he is unlikely to have a sense of humor about it). Continue winding down the Fodderstack where some help
