The Orchard 4 Miler

• 4Mile:- Run 4 Miles

RACE DAY REGISTRATION WILL BE AVAILABLE!!

This is the third ANNUAL 4 Mile Race held at the beautiful Altapass Orchard. The Orchard, the course, and all that goes with it is within "an apple's throw" of the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway.  It is incredibly beautiful with the most amazing views. 

The course parallels the Blue Ridge Parkway.  The first portion is on the Orchard Road, which is packed gravel and very comfortable to run on. After leaving the road, the course is on grassy orchard roads weaving through the apple trees for three miles. The final half mile is on Orchard Road and concludes on a nice downhill. The  difficult part of this race will be trying to keep your eyes on the trail and not on the beautiful views which are 90% of the course.

Five year age groups including a 70+ age group.  Awards will be unique items from The Orchard at Altapass.  Awards will not be mailed.  DOOR PRIZES!!!

The KIDS Run will be just before the awards ceremony.  Young runners who pre-register are guaranteed a t-shirt.
