“Pie heads,” runners, and dogs alike sprung from the start of the “Be Thankful 5K” at Bold Rock Cidery the day after Thanksgiving. Proceeds from this annual event benefit NCCF.
More than 150 runners—and a few dogs—turned out for the post-Thanksgiving “Be Thankful 5K” race held again this year on Nov. 23 at Bold Rock Cidery in Nellysford, VA. The fastest runner in each age/gender group walked away with a prize and bragging rights, and yes—there was a prize for the fastest dog, too. The event was sponsored by Wintergreen Resort, Bold Rock Cider, and the Rockfish Valley Foundation. Net proceeds to the tune of $2,000 ($1,500 from the race and $500 from Bold Rock Cidery) went to the Nelson County Community Fund, where neighbors help neighbors in need.
