Keeping it Local

At App(ugh)lachia, we strive to support the beautiful community we live in, and we encourage you to do the same. Avoid the same old interstate exits when you visit, and instead, enjoy the truly App(ugh)lachian experiences listed below.

Side Note: We also want our youth to be able to take advantage of this competition to better themselves and prepare for the tougher challenges that lie ahead. As such, we give away 6 spots in each race to the top local boys and girls runners in our region. If you are a local runner who won the Region 1A, 2A, or 3A West Cross Country meet in Southwest Virginia, and weren’t contacted, please email the race director at general.parks1@gmail.com.
