The Henway Hard Cider Turkey Trot 5K & 10K returns to Bluemont, Virginia on November 28th. This beloved annual race offers participants a chance to enjoy the crisp autumn air and picturesque landscapes post-Thanksgiving. Race morning brings cooler temperatures ranging from 3.9°C to 13.5°C, with occasional breezes of up to 12.1 km/h providing just enough of a chill for an invigorating run or walk. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, perfect for getting back into the swing of things after a long holiday weekend. This event has been running since its inception in [year], drawing thousands each year who participate not only to support local charities and community scholarships but also to strengthen bonds within the Bluemont community. It's a highlight on everyone’s calendar, combining tradition with fun and camaraderie. The 10K course covers approximately 6.2 miles through scenic fall landscapes, featuring gently rolling terrain with some slight elevation changes. Runners will navigate through stunning views of autumn foliage before looping back towards the starting point for those who prefer a shorter race or wish to walk at their own pace. The 5K route is slightly shorter, measuring around 3.1 miles and leading participants past the cider press where they can enjoy a post-race glass. Aid stations are strategically placed every two miles on the 10K course with water and electrolyte options available, ensuring minimal traffic due to local roads being closed off during the event for safety reasons.
