Two of our volunteers helped Literacy NRV this past week. They had so much fun making wands for their 5K race that is occurring tomorrow. Thank you for you hard work!

This is where the magic happens! 🪄🏃

We are so grateful for these extraordinary wandmakers, Sarah Carter and Rosetta Reed-Steele! They have been working so hard crafting beautiful and unique magic wands for our racers at Once Upon a 5K. Their process is so creative and every single one is unique (unicorn hair and phoenix feathers not included)! Wands will be guaranteed for the first 150 racers. This is one of our most beloved race traditions and we couldn't do it without these amazing artists.

Pre-registration has ended but there's still time to participate! Join us Saturday morning at 7 AM to register on site. Message us here or call 540-382-7262 with any questions!
