Description

The Market at Grelen invites you to participate in its third hiking event to benefit Warrior Expeditions, a non-profit organization helping veterans have a smooth transition from military service back into civilian life.   The founder, Sean Gobin, is a UVA Darden grad and was one of the top 10 CNN heroes in 2015!.  Check out the website @ https://warriorexpeditions.org/

The Warrior Hike event is a wonderful experience.  Hike the beautiful Grelen Trails for as many miles as you can handle.  Pick up tokens along the way and turn them in at the end for a chance to win prizes.  The more you hike, the more raffle tickets you can gather and the better your chances of winning. 

VENUE: The Market at Grelen

COURSE: 5 miles of trails thru the nursery, forest and meadow.  Somewhat hilly, but mostly easy terrain. 

SPONSORS:  A HUGE thank you to our 2019 sponsors: Athleta (NEW!), Blue Mountain Brewery, Bold Rock, Early Mountain Vineyards, Grelen Nursery, The Market at Grelen, Red Star Merchandise & Virginia National Bank.  We are so appreciative of your new and continued support!!

  • Entrance Fee $30; Sign-up as an individual or create a team and ask other friends and co-workers to join you.  You can also earn extra money for the cause by asking others to sponsor you. 
  • Kids:  Kids 6 and under do not need to register and can do the hike for free with a parent or guardian, however the tokens for raffle prizes can only be collected by the registered adults and 7+ kids.Non-registered children will not receive a t-shirt). 
  • T-shirt deadline is 10/20.  We will order a few extra t-shirts, so If you sign-up after this you will most likely get a t-shirt on the day of the event but may not get a choice of size.  If not, you are still eligible for all of the fabulous raffles (top prize valued at $2500). 
  • Race Day Registration & Packet Pick-up:   Nov. 10 at The Market at Grelen shop beginning at 10 a.m.; Hiking starts @ noon.

CELEBRATION: After the hike, there will be a celebration (think free tastings!) and prizes in the Orchard Overlook tent.  You must be present to win and presentations start between 2:30 - 3:00 p.m.  

PRIZES:  You will gather raffle tickets along the hiking route and the more you hike, the more you collect.  Each raffle ticket will count as one chance to win a raffle prize.  Raffle prizes are still being gathered...stay tuned!
