The old Warren County Middle School is at 500 West 15th Street. (Note: This is the same location as in previous years, although the building is no longer used as a school as of mid-2010. Our race is not at the current middle school location [the old high school] on Luray Avenue.) A Google map showing the old school's location can be found here, and driving directions also appear on the race flyer. (Registration and the finish line will be in the parking lot on the east side of the school, just south of the athletic field/track.)

If you have any questions, or if you'd like to volunteer on race morning, contact race directors Colleen Snyder at csnyder123@comcast.net or (540) 305-4944, or Terry Leckie at ltleckie@comcast.net or (540) 660-2378 (cell).

(The Webmaster hopes to have time to update this site more fully with past results, event records, more detailed driving directions, and more.)
