Fluvanna Sheriff's Run for the torch 5k June 27, 2015 7:00am RACE COMPLETE! THANKS TO ALL THOSE WHO PARTICIPATED!
The bad news first: The weather is not looking so good. Strong chance of thunder storms, 50%-100% depending on which weather forecast you see. If anyone knows a good anti-rain dance, please start dancing.
The good: The race is still on. However, there has been a major course change to facilitate an indoor starting and finishing venue. THE START/FINISH LOCATION HAS CHANAGED!
The race will now start/finish at the Lake Monticello Fire House (14 Slice Rd, Palmyra, VA 22963) on Slice Road off South Boston Road. Registration/bib pick-up will be inside the John Maple room at the Lake Firehouse. Registration/ bib pick-up starts a 6:00am, the run still starts promptly at 7:00 am. Parking will be at the firehouse or across the street if needed (Please don’t park in the Dogwood Restaurant parking lot as they have an event that morning)
The new start/finish will also mean a new route. Part of the run will be on the golf course, the rest on Lake Monticello roads. The roads will be open to traffic, so use caution.
I will send you a new map ASAP. I thank everyone for their patience. I want to have the best event we can given the weather. So now we can have a dry start and finish location (runners may be a bit wet).
I would strongly suggest brining rain gear. I have ran a few races in Wal-Mart ponchos (the $4 ones work much better than the $1 ones). Walkers, bring that umbrella.
