In 2019, 1,296 volunteers took part in making 45th Anniversary of the Genworth Virginia 10 Miler a success.
The Genworth Virginia 10 Miler has become known for a tradition; “where hospitality meets the road”. Because of our volunteers, we continue to experience unprecedented growth with a reputation for excellence. This success would not be possible without the contribution of so many amazing volunteers!
Many of our corporate sponsors, charities and educational institutions go above and beyond their sponsorship by providing volunteers to assist with the many logistics involved with a race of this scale. Some of those partners include:
Genworth, Centra, Bank of The James, Framatome, Rehab Associates of Central Virginia, Randolph College, Lynchburg College, Liberty University, Lynchburg Fire & Rescue, Lynchburg Police Department, Amateur Radio Club, CHAP’s, Girls on The Run, Miriam’s House, Amazement Square, plus many more churches, organizations, and individuals.
If you are part of an organization that would like to volunteer, please e-mail us.
Looking back on 2019, we are so thankful for another year of Genworth Virginia 10 Miler events. We have the most supportive community, city, sponsors, volunteers, and participants. 46 years of road racing in Lynchburg and wouldn't change it for anything.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Meet Gavin Cooley from Hillsborough, North Carolina.
Gavin is just 9 years old, already holds 6 world records, and finished the Virginia 10 Miler this year in just 69:50. 😱
Gavin absolutely loves to run and eagerly awaits each birthday when he gets to register for a race length that is his age + 1 mile. After much research on which 10 miler he wanted to run at age 9, he chose our 10 Miler BECAUSE he was excited about the hills. (WOW!)
When asked if he walked any of the course (not that his time would have allowed for that!), his answer: "Why would I walk?"
Congratulations, Gavin!
