Podderstack 10-K
Each April for the last twenty-four years, a wholesome
community spirit and sense of cooperation
have brought Rappahannock citizens and visitors together for the Fodders tack 10-K Race from Flint Hill to Washington. This year’s race will be held this upcoming Saturday, April 20.
There will be prizes, trophies, tee shirts and cheers galore for the runners and winners. This year, for the first time there will be cash prizes available for the first, second and third place overall winners in the men’s and women’s divisions.
The run constitutes an important fundraiser for the Rappahannock Recreation Authority and its good works. Countless Rappahannock residents give of their time and energy to make the race work and work well. The details involved in publicizing the event, registering and timing runners, providing water and first aid, controlling traffic, etc. may not always be apparent to the casual observer or bypasser. But, the people who perform these tasks deserve the community’s heartfelt thanks and -'appreciation. • Despite the hours of organizational skills and comjnitment from various people to perform certain tasks, •it’s the perfect chance for Rappahannock County to show soff its hospitality and celebrate the arrival of spring. In ishort, it’s fun, be there.
