Description

Join the Fredericksburg Nationals and the Fredericksburg Area Running Club for an exciting day in FXBG as we honor our veterans! This is our third year hosting the event, and we invite you to run all the way to home base – literally! Both races will finish on the field in the stadium, where your friends and family can watch you cross the finish line on the scoreboard. But that's not all! There will also be yard games and crazy contests, military displays to check out, and opportunities to snap some pictures with Gus, the FredNats mascot. Follow us on FB & Instagram @runfarc for updates on more surprises in store.

All profits from the race will be donated to the Team RWB Fredericksburg Chapter, a fantastic nonprofit organization whose mission is to enrich the lives of America’s veterans through physical and social activity. We are thrilled to support this worthy organization and can't wait to see these "Eagles" out on the course! For more information about Team RWB, click on the Charity link below.

The Bravo Mile fun run will begin at 9:30am, followed by the 5K at 10:00am, so you can sleep in a little and make it a day at the ballpark with your loved ones. Here are a few reasons why you should join us:

*Plenty of parking and onsite restrooms
*Family-friendly event
*Flat, Fast USATF Certified Course
*Custom shirts and finisher medals
*Lots of prizes, food, and games
*Awards for top finishers with a special military category
*Discounts for members of the military and Fredericksburg Area Running Club members

Please note that current military ID must be shown at packet pickup for military discounts, and shirts are not guaranteed if registering after October 13th. We will have some extra shirts at packet pickup, but cannot guarantee size or availability.

What a great way to spend the day honoring our brave men and women of the armed forces than at the ballpark - home of AMERICA'S favorite pastime!

Team Red White and Blue

Team RWB’s mission is to enrich veterans’ lives
Every year, more than 250,000 active duty service members transition out of the military, joining the 3.5 million post-9/11 veterans already living in communities nationwide. They face many challenges including isolation, weight gain, lack of purpose, and other health issues.

Team Red, White & Blue is the antidote to the isolation and health challenges they face. By forging America’s leading health and wellness community for veterans, service members, and their families, we strive to make tomorrow better. Together, we will find strength and success.

Our chapters and the Team RWB App deliver virtual and local, consistent, and inclusive opportunities for veterans and the community to connect through physical and social activity. Volunteers host regular fitness activities, social gatherings, and community service events, and facilitate building strong local connections with members and organizations within the community.
