Whether you're sprinting like you're stealing home or jogging to enjoy the sights, this race is a celebration of community, baseball, and giving back.

⚾ Course Highlights:

  • Wind through the scenic streets of Fredericksburg, passing stations decked out in red, white and blue—just like Gus’s favorite gear.

  • Cross the "Home Plate Finish Line" on the field at Virginia Credit Union Stadium, with cheering fans in the stands and music pumping through the speakers!

💥 Race-Day Features:

  • Mascot Madness: Join Gus and his mascot pals for a pre-race warmup and photo ops.

  • Team Spirit Stops: Volunteers in FredNats jerseys will keep you motivated with water, cheers and baseball-themed surprises along the course.

  • Post-Race Celebration: After the race, enjoy ballpark snacks, games and a Gus-themed medal ceremony.

💜Supporting the Community:

Proceeds from the Gus Dash 5K benefit the Fredericksburg Nationals Foundation, supporting local youth programs, education initiatives and community outreach. Every step you take helps us make a positive impact in the Fredericksburg area.

Whether you're a lifelong fan of the FredNats, a running enthusiast, or just here for the fun, this event is a home run for everyone. Lace up, step out, and dash for a cause with Gus leading the way!
