Walk or Run with Us at the 7th Annual Co-op 5K!
Everyone is welcome to join us for this fun, family-friendly community event—whether you walk or run. By participating, you’ll help make healthy, local food more affordable for neighbors in need.
Where do the proceeds go?
Net proceeds from the race support our Community Co-op Cash Program, which provides qualifying shoppers (EBT, TANF, WIC, or Unemployment benefactors.) with 15% off store-wide for an entire year. Our goal is simple: to make fresh, nourishing food more accessible and affordable for everyone in our community.
This program is funded entirely through the generosity of our Co-op owners and shoppers and reflects our ongoing commitment to supporting our neighbors and strengthening food access for all. We hope it helps make shopping at the Co-op a little more affordable—and a lot more enjoyable.

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.
