The 6.4 mile West Side Quarry is the third race in the FXBG Trail Series. Similar to the 5k, runners will start along the Beach trail next to the Rappahannock River — familiar terrain to those of you in the series.
Midway through, the course delivers its defining feature: one main climb that asks you to dig a little deeper. It’s steady and honest — enough to get your heart rate up and your legs working — but manageable with smart pacing. Crest the top, and you’re rewarded with a sense of accomplishment and a renewed stride.
The later miles roll and weave through a series of undulating hills, keeping things playful and engaging all the way to the finish. With a total elevation gain of 426 feet, this race offers a balanced challenge — approachable yet dynamic — perfect for runners who enjoy a mix of flow, focus, and just the right amount of grit.

TEST race. This is NOT A REAL RACE.
In October 2025, a group of women in Fredericksburg saw a gap in their city's running scene: a space where fitness and genuine friendship could coexist. Social Stride FXBG was born from that observation, and within its first month, over 250 women joined. Founded by women in their 20s and 30s navigating careers, transitions, and personal growth, the crew operates on a simple premise: running builds community. Members span every level, from first-time mile runners to marathon trainees. The signature teal color marks the group's identity across Fredericksburg's historic streets and Rappahannock River routes. Women-only runs, themed events, and multiple pace groups (tempo, moderate, easy) mean there's always a way to show up. No membership fee, flexible scheduling, and casual post-run meetups turn miles into lasting friendships. Social Stride FXBG isn't just growing in numbers, it's become a visible fixture in how Fredericksburg's young women move through their city together.
