Lace up your running shoes for the scenic Mother's Day 5K/10K/1M on May 10, 2026, in historic Fredericksburg, Virginia. This popular event, hosted by Bishop's Events, invites runners, walkers, and strollers alike to enjoy a memorable morning alongside the beautiful Rappahannock River. Starting and finishing at Old Mill Park, the race offers a fantastic way to celebrate Mother's Day, known for its friendly atmosphere and smooth organization.

The course is a paved path offering picturesque river views with a few small hills to keep things interesting. The 5K is an out-and-back route, while the 10K provides a double loop of the same scenic path. Aid stations are strategically placed throughout the course, with two water stops for 5K participants and five for those tackling the 10K, some offering Gatorade to keep you hydrated. Runners can expect typical race day conditions with historical highs around 75°F and lows near 51°F, with only an 18% chance of precipitation. All finishers will proudly receive a commemorative medal and a technical (Drifit) event shirt.

Beyond the personal achievement, the Mother's Day 5K/10K/1M supports Gwyneth's Gift Foundation, dedicated to raising awareness for CPR and AEDs. With race day packet pickup, chip-timing, and a welcoming environment, it’s a perfectly organized event for both seasoned runners aiming for series points and families looking for a meaningful outing.
