Another look into the Virginia 10 Miler’s rich history:
📍 Our Start and Finish Line have been on Langhorne Road outside of EC Glass High School since the very beginning in 1974.
The school holds a special place in the heart of thousands of finishers who have celebrated their accomplishments there for nearly 50 years.
Not to mention, the Virginia 10 Miler has been greatly impacted by the service of the EC Glass sports teams and clubs who give their time to volunteer along the course each year.
