About the Event

40 Years! First Bank is pleased once again to present the First Bank Fall Run in the historic Town of Fincastle, Virginia. Each year more than 600 local students and adults from far and wide join us for the event.

The race is not designed as a fundraiser, but as an event to bring children and families from the community together for health and fitness. As part of the race, First Bank awards $2000 in scholarships to area graduating seniors. We continue to offer shirt sponsorship opportunities to allow more proceeds to be available for the Fall Run Scholarship Fund. We have always kept our entry fees lower than most races so that students and families can afford to participate.

Q&A

Will we get swag? Yes! You will receive a custom long sleeve t-shirt. We will order youth small, medium and youth large shirts as well as all adult sizes again this year. Trophies will still be presented to the schools with the greatest number of participants and the greatest percentage of student's participating.

Where do we pick up our swag? Early packet pick-up dates are October 13th, 14th, and 15th from 4-6:30 P.M. at First Bank - 1245 Roanoke Rd. Daleville VA 24083. Packets can also be picked up on race day in the gym at Central Academy Middle School. Student packets for elementary and middle schools will be delivered the week of the race to the schools and given to the school coach.

How do I volunteer on race day and receive a free race shirt? Adults 18 and older may volunteer. Visit the 2026 First Bank Fall Run Volunteer registration page here!

Where can I view the results after the race? They will be posted at the Mountain Junkies tent near the starting line and also at this link.
