The Route

- The Path: Take your choice of an easy, flat trail or push yourself on the more challenging Purple Trail.
- Turnaround/Finish Area: The route takes you over to the historic and picturesque Omni Bedford Springs Hotel area.
Event Highlights
- Family & Kid-Friendly: Bring the strollers for the lower walking area, the grandparents, and the kids! This is a supportive, positive environment for everyone.
- Choose Your Pace: Walk it, jog it, or run it—this event is about community, not just competition. This is an UNTIMED race so if you want, bring your watches.
- Race for a Cause: 100% of all proceeds go directly to vital programs within Bedford County dedicated to helping individuals and families recovering from drug and alcohol addiction. Your steps make a difference. By participating, you are directly funding recovery resources, breaking the stigma, and supporting a healthier, stronger Bedford County.
