Thousands of runners turned out Saturday morning in Lynchburg for the Annual Virginia 10-Miler.
Runners from around the U.S. and from around the world made their way down the traditional course, from the starting line on Langhorne Rd. in front of E.C. Glass High School, down to the turn onto Rivermont Ave., to the loop through Riverside Park and then back again to the start/finish line.
The Virginia 10-Miler website tells of the history of the race and its newer events for all ages:
The Moore & Giles Virginia 10 Miler held its first race in 1974 in Lynchburg, Virginia.
The Lynchburg Road Runners Club began in 1973 with the primary goal of organizing the first Virginia 10 Miler in 1974.
Fifty years later, the club holds stewardship of all Virginia 10 Miler events and assists the race management team with the organization and execution of all race logistics.
The event has grown over the years allowing us to expand from the historic Virginia 10 Miler to the Virginia 4+ Miler, Virginia 4+ Mile Walk, and Amazing Mile Children's Run.
Kipchirchir Sosten of Chapel Hill, NC came in first in the 2026 Virginia 10-Miler with a time of 48 minutes and 13 seconds.
