Boo Ridge 5k & Fun Runs 2026 — Hillsville, VA
Course & Travel Notes
The Boo Ridge 5k & Fun Runs takes place in Hillsville, Virginia on October 10th, 2026, with events kicking off at 9:00 AM—plenty of time to catch the sunrise at 7:26 AM if you want to arrive early and soak in the morning. You'll be running at a decent elevation of 2,549 feet, so it's worth accounting for that in your training if you're coming from lower terrain. For getting there, Mercer County Airport (BLF) is your closest flying option at about 45 miles away, and October weather in the area typically runs in the mid-60s for highs and low 40s for lows, though there's about a 25% chance of rain, so pack layers and maybe a light rain jacket just in case.
