From the Organizer
The Lynchburg Road Runners Club hosts training water stops every Saturday in August and September from 7:00–9:00 AM in front of Riverside Runners to support those preparing for the VA 10 Miler. We also host a special 4-miler training water stop in September at the bottom of Farm Basket Hill.
The Lynchburg Road Runners Club, in conjunction with Riverside Runners, will provide the tent, tablecloth, water coolers, electrolyte mix, and other necessary supplies—you are not required to bring anything. However, you are encouraged to bring ice, snacks, or fun additions like music or bubbles to help create an energetic and welcoming atmosphere.
If you’re interested in supporting local runners and walkers, please select a date (or two) to volunteer. We truly appreciate your help in making this training season successful!
If you sign up and have additional questions or are no longer able to assist, please email lynchburgroadrunnersclub@gmail.com. On Saturday morning at or prior to 7:00 AM, a board member will meet you in front of Riverside Runners with supplies and will return at 9:00 AM to assist with breakdown.
