This isn’t your typical 5K. The Toader is a “challenging” 1.51 km journey with a special twist. Our event is designed for running, eating, and drinking, celebrating the spirit of a relaxed, fun-filled holiday. Gather your crew and come out for a race where the goal is simply to enjoy yourself.
Along the course on our stunning 27-acre farm, you’ll find three unique rest stops. The first stop fuels you up with a pint of our refreshing ‘Into the Orchard.’ Next, you must consume a delicious fresh cider donut to continue. Finally, at the top of the field, you’ll grab a slice of hot, crispy bacon to complete your race fuel.
The course takes you on a beautiful journey surrounded by 360-degree views of the majestic Blue Ridge Mountains. You’ll experience the best of our Virginia cider taproom and bar as you run through the historic High View Farm driveway, taking in the scenery before reaching the Cider Hall for the after-party.
After you cross the finish line, the celebration continues! Join us for an after-party featuring a local band, a vibrant small business Saturday market, and delicious eats from a food truck. Participants will also receive a custom “Toader” t-shirt, wristband, and headband.
Finish off the holiday season with a bang and join us for this unique, delicious, and memorable event. It’s the perfect way to unwind with your loved ones and celebrate. Find your inner underachiever and come to our farm for a day of fun, food, and award-winning hard cider.
