From the Organizer
The Fall Foliage race has taken place in Waynesboro for over 40 years. The course takes you on a brisk fall run through the charming neighborhoods and a scenic riverside greenway path. Fall is a beautiful time in the Shenandoah Valley and the perfect time for this family friendly race. Your registration includes aid stations along the course, finish line refreshments, and a post-race awards ceremony. Each participant will also receive a custom finishers medal and a long sleeve race shirt.
The Fall Foliage 10K is the 4th and final race in the 4-race series. Why run just one when you can run all four! To learn more and sign up for other Run the Valley race series races visit www.RuntheValley.com (Run the Valley Race Series races include:

About This Sport
From Endurance Grid's Founder
Endurance Grid is here to help you understand the sport, decide if it's the right fit, and learn how to prepare. For course distances, logistics, and race-day specifics, always defer to the race organizer's event page.
The 10K is the distance where running stops feeling like a starting point and starts feeling like a sport. Long enough to require a real training block. Short enough that race day is fully manageable for a first-timer who's put in the work.
Race day energy at a 10K is community at its best — strangers cheering you by name, people moving toward the same goal, an atmosphere that solo training can't replicate. It's fast enough that you'll spend the whole race pushing rather than managing your effort.
This is also the distance that builds the base for everything else. Most athletes who go on to run half marathons, do triathlons, or compete in HYROX started here. What you need: running shoes fitted to your stride, a training plan, and the race on your calendar. The registration is what makes the deadline real.
How long to train: 4–8 weeks for most fitness levels.
Running
From 5K to marathon, running races are the most accessible entry point into endurance sport. There's a distance for every fitness level and a community at every start line.
