The annual Heart of Virginia Festival on Saturday, May 2, will get off to a running start with a 10 kilometer run. Those who prefer a slightly less vigorous way to begin the day may substitute a 5 kilometer fun walk instead.

The 10K begins at Hampden-Sydney College, near the intersection of College Road and Via Sacra and follows a mostly downhill, fast course along the Back Hampden Sydney Road to the finish at First Avenue Field.
