This run is in memory of Bob Gurtler, former mayor of the Plains, chemical engineer (rocket scientist) and lifelong runner. As a member of many running clubs, he mentored many beginning runners, supported the running community, and advocated for the health and well-being of all.
The race begins at Grace Episcopal Church in the Plains, VA and proceeds through town down to Hopewell Road. It continues to the halfway point and returns on the same course back to the church where it finishes.
All proceeds go to the local food pantry, Peas & Grace.
