5k Run Walk

Join us on Saturday, May 23rd, for a Farm 5K Run/Walk as part of the 2026 Wardensville Spring Fest — a town-wide celebration filled with local flavor, creativity, and fun for all ages.

The 5K takes place on a scenic, approachable off-road course beside the Cacapon River, winding alongside Lewis Farm, where our organic vegetables are grown and livestock graze nearby. Whether you’re running, walking, or cheering from the sidelines, it’s a great way to kick off a full day in Wardensville, WV.

All proceeds from the Farm 5K support local youth enrolled in the Junior Crew program at Farms Work Wonders.

Our mission is to ignite the spark of curiosity in Appalachian youth so they see themselves and their futures in new and exciting ways. We do this through real work in our businesses, where young people — our Junior Crew — are challenged and supported to learn the work, build confidence, and find their way forward, no matter the path they choose.

Farms Work Wonders operates Wardensville Garden Market, Mack’s Bingo Kitchen & Bakery, Lewis Farm, and Dakota Glass Works. Learn more at farmsworkwonders.org

    We are thrilled to announce that registration is now open for the 2026 Shenandoah Epic Adventure Race!

    Get ready to push limits, chase sunrises, and write your own story in the wild—because the Shenandoah Epic 24-Hour Adventure Race returns April 11-12, 2026, for its 15th legendary year in the heart of Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley.

    This iconic race is more than just a challenge—it’s a rite of passage. Whether you're a seasoned AR veteran or gearing up for your first taste of the unknown, it's time to add your name to the roster. Spots vanish fast. With a cap of 300 racers and a history of sell-outs, this is your moment to lock in.

    What’s in store?

    • A full-throttle mix of trekking, biking, paddling, and navigation across the stunning Shenandoah Valley and the rugged Massanutten Mountain Range.

    • A fresh twist for 2026: multiple transitions over 24 hours, with a creative reimagining of how and where your transition areas unfold.

    Why Epic?

    Because it’s not just a race—it’s a journey of grit, growth, and discovery. The Shenandoah Epic is one of the longest-running 24-hour adventure races on the East Coast, and it’s earned its reputation as a must-do event for anyone who craves challenge and connection.

    Don’t wait. Secure your spot, start training, and prepare for an experience that will test your body, sharpen your mind, and leave you changed.
