Mother's Day Weekend Fun Run with Nomad Coffee 

• When: May 9, 2026
• Where:  Linkhorne Middle School 2525 Linkhorne Dr, Lynchburg
• Time: 8:00 AM

Join us for a Fun Run to kick off Mother’s Day weekend! This event is open to everyone – bring your kids, pets, spouses, and grandparents. All ages, paces, and distances are welcome! Whether you want to run, walk, or simply enjoy the day, you can choose how far you want to go.

We’ll start at 8 AM on Saturday, May 10th, at Linkhorne Middle School. After enjoying the Blackwater Creek Trail, plan to finish at Nomad's Coffee at the Awareness Gardens (a.k.a., the Ed Page entrance of the Blackwater Creek Bike path) for a complimentary coffee/tee/drink from Nomad, courtesy of the LRRC. Then, feel free to stroll back to the middle school at your own pace. This is a fun, laid-back event for everyone, and the best part is it’s completely free! We hope to see you on the trail!
