The Motts Half Marathon is our fifth and final race in the FXBG Trail Series. This course takes runners on a full tour of the reservoir trail system, covering every corner of the winding network that surrounds the water. From the start line to the finish, you’ll experience the full character of the trails — flowing singletrack, constant twists and turns, and scenery that changes with every mile.
Rolling hills shape the rhythm of the course, keeping your legs engaged and your pacing honest. Along the way, runners will tackle five distinct climbs, totaling 946 feet of elevation gain, that add just the right amount of challenge. None are impossibly long, but together they demand steady effort and smart energy management.
The route never feels repetitive as it winds along the shoreline, through wooded sections, and across the undulating terrain that makes these trails so memorable. With a mix of climbs, flowing descents, and curving singletrack, this race is the ultimate reservoir adventure — a true showcase of the entire trail system.

GroupSee full details
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.
