From the Organizer
Get ready to channel your inner lumberjack or lumberjill at the Plaid to the Bone 10K — the coziest, crunchiest, most flannel-filled race of the fall!
Race day is October 11th when the leaves are turning and the apple cider’s flowing! This lumberjack-themed run will have you trading your usual race tee for your finest plaid shirt. Whether you're rocking suspenders, beanies, or just a solid beard, we want to see your best forest fashion as you race with us through an autumn-filled course.
And the best part? After you cross the finish line, you’ll be rewarded with the ultimate fall feast — fresh apple cider, coffee, and delicious donuts, served up with a side of hearty high-fives and your finisher's medal!
Sharpen your axes (or your wit), lace up your boots (er, running shoes), and join us for a race that’s Plaid to the Bone! Costumes encouraged, flannel required, and fun guaranteed.
The Plaid to the Bone 10K is the 10th race in the 2026 Coldwell Banker Elite Grand Prix Series hosted by the Fredericksburg Area Running Club.
