1 Miles 5k Fun Run Run

Step up to the plate and join us for the Gus 5K, a family-friendly fun run inspired by everyone’s favorite mascot, GUS of the Fredericksburg Nationals! 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:

  • Start at the "First Base Line," near Virginia Credit Union Stadium, where Gus himself will send you off with his signature high-fives.

  • 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!

    This May, one mile can change everything. Put on your favorite pair of blue jeans and join us for the 6th annual ASICS Blue Jean Mile.

    In 2020, Johnny Gregorek set the first-ever Blue Jean Mile world record in honor of his late brother, Patrick. Six years later, what started as a personal tribute has become a tradition to raise awareness and funds to support mental wellness.

    The Motts 5 Miler is the second race of the FXBG Trail series. This trail race begins with a smooth, approachable start along Motts Run Reservoir — giving runners time to settle into their pace and find their rhythm before the course gradually reveals its character. The opening stretch is runnable and forgiving, setting you up for what’s to come.

    From there, the course features three main climbs that define the day. Each ascent brings its own personality — steady and sustained, short and punchy, and one final grinder that tests your grit. Altogether, runners will tackle 341 feet of total elevation gain, enough to make you work without overwhelming the legs.

    The descents are flowing and fun, offering opportunities to recover and carry momentum into the next section. This race strikes a perfect balance: approachable yet engaging, challenging but rewarding — a trail experience that keeps you honest while remaining accessible for a wide range of runners.
