About
Pie at the finish line! Join us for our 5th year of this super-fun annual event, which includes your choice of the Helltown Half, Shenandoah Leaf Peeper 10K, and Festival of Leaves 5K--and made complete with calorie replenishment with a slice of apple pie from local favorite The Apple House! The three distances will have you tackling the hills in and around Front Royal during the Warren Heritage Society's 49th annual Festival of Leaves. With the Shenandoah Mountains and the South Fork of the Shenandoah River as the backdrop at the time of year when the colors of the changing leaves are simply stunning, the miles will fade quickly under your feet as you knock out this two-loop 13.1-mile, single-loop 10K course, or picturesque 5K course. Join us, and earn that pie for sure!
